Feature request: Solid background color

[tmmls]

It seems it's not possible to pick a solid background color, unless you create an image. This should be possible. Thank you.

As an alternative, at least until this is included (if it is), it can be set through the terminal in two steps:

1. First, remove the background pictures for light and dark themes:

   gsettings set org.gnome.desktop.background picture-uri none
   gsettings set org.gnome.desktop.background picture-uri-dark none
   

2. Then, update the background color:

   gsettings set org.gnome.desktop.background primary-color 'red'
   

   The color can be specified by name or in hexadecimal format. I'm not sure which other formats are supported. For a list of names available, check this website:

   <named-color> - CSS | MDN

EDIT: It seem HSL is also supported, so I guess anything that is valid in CSS. You can use tools like "gpick" or "Eyedroopper" from the software store to pick colors out of the screen.

Do note that after modifying the background theme using Zorin Appearance, the background picture will be reset, and you'll have to unset it again. This would actually be a good addition to another script to control these settings, as discussed here:

How to switch Dark/Light theme with the Terminal?

Hey, I'm building a IoT device capturing the light in my room to switch the color theme. I just don't know how to create the Zorin Appearance behaviour when switching Dark/Light Theme in the Terminal. I tried: # Set Dark theme gsettings set org.gnome.desktop.interface gtk-theme ZorinBlue-Dark \ && gsettings set org.gnome.desktop.interface icon-theme ZorinBlue-Dark \ && gsettings set org.gnome.desktop.interface color-scheme prefer-dark But just some elements are changing in the UI, how to com…

This is why I prefer Plasma. Gnome Devs failed the users again by removing solid colours, essential for users with low-vision.
