Customize default content translucency color to Ubuntu's color scheme

[Jeremy Bícha]

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 is working on a solution upstream, https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/console/-/merge_requests/95

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.

[Sergio Costas (rastersoft-gmail)]

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

[Sergio Costas (rastersoft-gmail)]

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.

[Jeremy Bícha (jbicha)]

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.
