[Bug 1517019] Re: Allow changing of desktop background colour

 

This can be achieved by setting gsettings key:
org.gnome.desktop.background primary-color

However when you select a background image, gnome-control-center resets
this key to black.

One option would be to add a colour field to gnome-tweak-tool and
disable the reset of the key in gnome-control-center

Bug description:
  In Unity you are able to change the colour of the background (so if
  you make an image spanned on the desktop, you can make it so that the
  black bits around it are a difference colour), so I would like there
  to be a feature like this in GNOME. I am running Ubuntu GNOME 15.10
  with GNOME 3.18 and can't see any option like this. For instance I
  would like to make the black bits either side of my image white:
