The engine for this has existed in switchwall.sh all along: `--color` picks a color with hyprpicker and generates the entire theme from that seed instead of the wallpaper (matugen `color hex`), persisted as appearance.palette.accentColor so it survives light/dark toggles; `--color clear` returns to wallpaper-derived colors, and picking a new wallpaper already clears it too. All three theming paths (shell, terminal, Qt apps) flow through the same generation as wallpaper mode, so no new color-application code is needed. This adds the missing UI: a 'Custom color' button (shows the active hex when set) and a 'Back to wallpaper colors' button in Settings > Quick.

Closes #1586. Good news: the engine for this has existed in
switchwall.shall along — it just never had UI.switchwall.sh --colorpicks a color with hyprpicker and generates the entire theme from that seed instead of the wallpaper (matugen color hex), persisted asappearance.palette.accentColorso it survives light/dark toggles.--color clearreturns to wallpaper-derived colors — and picking a new wallpaper already clears the custom color too (existing behavior inmain()).This PR adds the missing UI in Settings → Quick: a Custom color button (shows the active hex when one is set) and a Back to wallpaper colors button, right under the scheme selector.
Daily-driven on my machine (Arch + Hyprland) — the seed persists across light/dark toggles and scheme changes, and clears as expected when choosing a new wallpaper.
Is it ready? Questions/feedback needed?
Ready. Possible follow-ups if there's interest (kept out to stay single-purpose): a generated-palette button (e.g. local HSV harmonies), and saving several palettes as reusable presets.
