Hi all,
I'm running gnome3, and I'm missing a feature to expand the table of colors which gnome offers for changing the gnome3 desktop background color (for example adding "black" to this table).
Any hint?
Kind regards

This is incredibly non-obvious, unfortunately, but you can set any arbitrary color by bringing up the Colors table under backgrounds, and then running Gimp or another GTK app with a color picker dialog and dragging the color from that to the table.
I don't really understand why there isn't just a color picker there in the first place. It's like a customization easter-egg!

Thank you. Works wonderfully (I installed gpicker!)
