    On my Android phone, for some inane reason, there’s no option to just use a fixed color background

    Uhhh…

    Literally just use the same one that’s on your pc? Just KDEconnect that file over (or find any online pic of a solid color wallpaper, whatever you choose of course), and click:

    settings>wallpaper and style>change wallpaper>my photos>nav to your file>set wallpaper

    (This is why all linux help is CLI, damn GUI nav trees lmao.) But yeah why not that? Works on my machine.

      If someone is just using a solid color as as a PC wallpaper, there is likely not a “file” to transfer. When using a solid color in the wallpaper settings, desktop environments provide a color picker instead of a file picker.

        Ok then,

        Prntscrn your home, crop out taskbars.

        Or open gimp and make a one color image in any color you can imagine.

        Then send that file. There’s ways.

      If I were going to do that, I’d create an image scaled to my Android phone, as I don’t know whether the Android system caches a resized image or not.

      I mean, I can do it, but just not worth the bother, because I’m not looking at it much. I remember going to the settings, rolling my eyes, and then ignoring it.

        Good question, I’m not sure. From using a desktop wallpaper on my android before however I can tell you that in practice, whatever happens with your cache, it just crops the image to fit your screen. It can be a problem if you want the full design, but with a one color image, you’d never be able to tell.

        But hell yeah I can understand being way too lazy to care, though still then I wouldn’t be saying “there’s no option…” because there is, you just have to supply the image, which is really very easy if you did care to do it.
