Hey @Neutrovertido, unfortunately this feature is not as easy to implement as it might seem, because for the Shell Theming option to work it would require me to compile a Gnome Shell Theme for every possible hex value, right now the Extension provides 18 custom Gnome Shell Themes (stored in the resources directory) , 1 for every accent color and every gnome version that the extension supports (43 and 44).
then maybe expanding the color options could do as well, colors like light blue, cyan, etc
Maybe I'll work on it for v7, I might add more colors from this pallete.
oh, that'd make for a great improvement
Hey, that would be really great,+1! Also I want to suggest a feature for previewing the color without applying it, like it's in Ubuntu, but right in the menu of the extension if it's possible
@bulkabuka unfortunately, I don't think there's a way to do that using a gnome extension.

Just a dumb question, since I have little experience with gnome extensions... can you compile on demand? Like, sure, it will take time, but can you get a hex value as input and when hitting apply just compile a theme then and apply it? I'm just asking if it's possible. I might give it a try myself in the future...
Also on the gnome-extensions page someone said the extension doesn't work on 44.3. Can that be due to some other customizations the user made (like manually installed themes and such?)

Unfortunately there's no violet or any cooler hue of purple in gnome's palette. Does that mean it would not be considered?
I think adding an option where you can pick a hex color would make the extension 2x as good. This is very much a feature request.
