Feature request: Solid background color

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:
