Pop art squares optional color argument #75

Open exxxtasycn opened 9 years ago

exxxtasycn commented 9 years ago

Could you please add an optional color argument for the "Pop art squares" screen saver?

I would like to be able to use a different color for the screensaver than the one specified by my theme. I know I can customize the color by changing the color in my theme, but I don't want to change my theme's colors.

If the argument is added, I will be able to add a color-customized version of the screensaver at /usr/share/applications/screensavers/popsquares-red.desktop like follows ...

[Desktop Entry] Name=Pop art squares (red) Comment=A pop-art-ish grid of pulsing colors. Exec=/usr/libexec/mate-screensaver/popsquares #ff0000 TryExec=/usr/libexec/mate-screensaver/popsquares StartupNotify=false Terminal=false Type=Application Categories=Screensaver; OnlyShowIn=MATE; X-Desktop-File-Install-Version=0.22

Optionally the two colors of the background gradient in Appearance Preferences could be added, including maybe tooltip color. Pop-art squares would then automatically fit with desktop theme.
