Feature request: background & accent color customization

[ombranotturna]

Hello, and thank you for the great work on this minimal launcher. I’m currently testing it and would like to suggest an enhancement regarding visual customization options.

Current behavior

• When using the default black background, users can choose an accent color for text from a predefined set of presets.
• When setting a custom background (e.g. a solid color or image), the accent color customization is tied to the default behavior, making it impossible to freely adjust it.

Proposed improvements

1. Custom accent color support

• Allow users to set a custom accent color using HEX codes (e.g. #FF5500).
• Keep the existing preset selection as an option for quick choices.

2. Custom background color support

• Allow users to set a background color using either:
  • Preset colors
  • Custom HEX codes
• This should be consistent with how accent colors are handled.
• Image backgrounds should remain supported as they are currently.

3. Decouple accent color from background type

• Allow full control over accent color regardless of background type:
  • Default black background
  • Custom solid color background (preset and HEX)
  • Image background
• Accent color selection should always remain available.

Benefits

• Greater flexibility for user personalization
• More consistent theming system across different background types
• Improved accessibility (users can choose higher contrast combinations)
• Keeps the launcher minimal while adding powerful customization options
• Better user experience for those who want a lightweight but personalized home screen

Thanks for considering this feature!

Colored text on an image quickly looks like shit.

I'm not against it, but someone has to figure out how to do it nicely and I'll probably not be that someone soon.
