Pushed preliminary support for this into the image viewing widget today. We still need the UI elements (preferences dialog) and need to wire up the required handlers. But, I'd like to postpone this until after the GSettings migration as it is likely a lot less work by then. commit c42a931817a07554379d90c44d5923b358a9998b Author: Felix Riemann <> Date: Thu Jun 3 16:52:27 2010 +0200 Add fallback background color support to EogScrollView This allows to temporarily set the view's background color and fallback to a predetermined default or the theme's color. Necessary to make the color user settable and still allowing us to override it, e.g. for the fullscreen mode.
Done. As the description says below it doesn't show until you load an image. But that's a different bug. commit caf81e8f9e27419dd8ec96ebaaf616b669e04977 Author: Felix Riemann <> Date: Sun Jun 6 22:07:08 2010 +0200 Allow setting a user-defined background color This allows the user to have another color instead of the theme defined color as background. For now requires a loaded image until we can finally fix bug 538279. Fixes bug 502992. This problem has been fixed in the development version. The fix will be available in the next major software release. Thank you for your bug report.
