Backlight
=========

[](#backlight)

Backlight is a pointless script inspired by the Ubuntu Unity Launcher. It will take an image/icon, and find it's mean background color as well as it's glow color. It will return an object with values in both RGB and HEX format for use.

The recommended way to install Backlight is [through composer](http://packagist.org).

Just create a composer.json file for your project:

```
{
    "minimum-stability" : "dev",
    "require": {
        "tyler-king/backlight": "dev-master"
    }
}
```

And run these two commands to install it:

```
$ curl -s http://getcomposer.org/installer | php
$ php composer.phar install

```

Now you can add the autoloader, and you will have access to the library:
