X Error of failed request: BadColor (invalid Colormap parameter)

Freshly installed computer, manually installed plasma5-wallpapers-dynamic beforehand.

Installed gnome-kde-mojave-dynamic-wallpaper and then wallutils.

Below is output from settimed mojave-timed:

Does work if you re-run it a few times.. but it produces this, not sure that's normal?:

Thanks for reporting. I'm planning to rewrite the settimed utility.

If you install feh, the color conversion should happen correctly. It's a fallback routine for pure old X11 that is failing here.

While the green image looks awesome, I'll fix this, and also test it on awesomewm without having feh installed.

I installed Awesome WM to reproduce this issue. I don't get the green image above, but I do get this error:

X Error of failed request:  BadColor (invalid Colormap parameter)

After installing feh, the background image is set correctly.

The latest release will complain if feh is not available when using i3 or AwesomeWM, until I can fix the issue with the X11 backend.

It is possible to set NOFEH=1 to not use feh, for debugging, if that should be needed.

Please re-open this issue if there should be further problems with this. Thanks
