Bug Description

It was requested in LP: #1973828 that GNOME Console be patched to use Ubuntu's color hinting for the translucent content background color, since Ubuntu's GNOME Terminal had this feature.

As a stretch goal, maybe it could use the Yaru color style instead of just purple.

Sergio, I'm applying this patch to Kinetic now. Do we need to update Yaru theme too?

You will need to add an entry in the CSSs for the background, I presume.

Ok, as commented by the design people, the CSS entry is not possible. But there is a new patch that I sent some days ago that allows to set the colors using GSettings. So changing the default values in the GSettings file should be enough.

The patch: https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/console/-/merge_requests/92

I forgot to comment that although the patch talks about the palette, it also allows to set the background/foreground colors in separate keys, and both for light/dark modes.

Because the palette proposal got stuck upstream and because I hesitate to add custom downstream gsettings, I reimplemented this as a simple distro patch to change the background color to purple.
