Should this utility be working in Ventura?

[9jkh]

Ventura 13.6.2 Latest Xcode and Mint installed. Have tried every which way to create solid color. But constantly errors out, usually with:

Cannot read the provided wallpaper file as image. Check if the path is correct and if it is a valid image file
Could not generate new wallpaper screen 0

I'm 99.99% certain that I'm using the correct path.

Used the following with adjustment for my user:

mint run igorkulman/ChangeMenuBarColor SolidColor "#B4AFAE" "/Users/******/wallpaper.jpg"

or

mint run igorkulman/ChangeMenuBarColor SolidColor “#B4AFAE” “/Users/******/Desktop/wallpaper.jpg”

Also, with solid color generated, can CMBC be expected to create the following look: white or off-white menubar against dark grey Desktop background? Below is a screenshot of my High Sierra menubar, which I'm trying to recreate in Ventura - currently grey against grey.

I would really love to get this working.
