From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

Accent colors provide a way for users to personalize their desktop in a simple, developer-friendly, and effective way. Throughout the community there has been a general interest in the inclusion of accent colors within apps and desktop environments. This proposal aims to standardize an accent color key on the Settings portal.

A new key on the Settings portal, accent-color, would be defined under the org.freedesktop.appearance namespace.

Nice! I recently switched to Android and the Material You adaptive coloring through the system is so nice.

Anything that makes customizing a Linux desktop a little easier is good in my book.
