Comment (by leavengood):

 That's a neat idea. The basic version would be even simpler than the
 iTunes algorithm, since we would not need to worry about text colors. That
 would really just involve finding the most common color in the image.

 Though it might be neat if we could choose and set the text colors for
 icons on the desktop in a similar way so they stand out. The main color
 could be the primary color in the linked post and the outline could be in
 the secondary color.

 It is all just a matter of cloning those algorithms in C++, putting it in
 a class, and then using it from Backgrounds.
