Allow setting wallpaper to colour rather than image.

[RokeJulianLockhart]

Describe the suggestion

As the undermentioned screenshots demonstrate:

1. 

2. 

...I would like to be able to set the wallpaper to a colour rather than an image, as the relevant default (to be KCM) of KDE Plasma 5 allows. This allows me to not store an image which corresponds to the colour of my system, instead allowing me to set a value (base-16 or RGB, for instance) via Yin-Yang.

Enhancement is about general app features like different schedulers. Plugin support is for everything about plugins.

The issue is that we support different desktops. Also I dont know yet how I would implement that in our current architecture. Meanwhile, you might want to use a custom script

That's a brilliant idea. I've asked https://superuser.com/q/1819096/904401 consequently. Thanks, @l0drex.

Not necessary. Have images of the desired colors ready. A few (one?) pixels will suffice.

This is what I use.

The is tucked away from my most used folders to avoid visual clutter there.

There had been an issue that the names or paths may not contain certain characters. Not sure if it still exists. If setting images doesn't work, this is likely the cause.

@noyannus, it is necessary. I'm glad for your advice, but I had already ascertained that what you propose would provide this functionality, but believe it is insufficient as a solution. It requires too much work.
