Adding Additional Wallpaper Background Tiles?

Fatdog comes by default with different gray tone wallpaper tiles (light gray / dark gray), which is a bit limited.

When I create a new system, I assign a new desktop background color for each new system user with different color tiles that I have created, which I copy with a bash script from an external CD. In that way I can visually track quickly, which account I am currently using, e.g.:

Indian Red - #CD5C5C
Steel Blue - #4682B4
Sea Green - #2E8B57

Would it be possible to add those color tiles to Fatdog by default? I would be happy to share the files if required and would be happy to create more colors if there is an interest in the community.

Thanks for your feedback!

Thank you @Neo_78.
Please post the tiles. Happy to include them in the base if they aren't too big.

by step

To add, I have updated the desktop-wallpaper command, making it easier to set a solid color desktop background. This will be in the next Fatdog64 release, when the time comes.

The tiles that I created use the same format and size like your default ones that already ship with Fatdog @jamesbond. Will post them this weekend when I am back at my main system.

Great idea @step! Looking forward to it... :thumbup2:
