Description

A user can select a custom color for the NextCloud menu under "Appearance and accessibility -> Background".

It would be nice if we would have the possibility to allow Custom Menu to use that color instead of a fixed one set by the admin.

Benefits

The Custom Menu would match the user selected color of the NC instance/account.

More informations

If I'm seeing this right, the NC menu uses the following:

background-color: var(--color-background-plain, var(--color-main-background));

As a test, I've been setting this on the Custom Menu manually and it does yield acceptable results.

I came here to suggest the same thing.

I have been using this in the Custom CSS Nextcloud extension and it seems to work well.

#side-menu  {
background: var(--color-primary);
}

button.side-menu-opener:active {
background-color: rgba(0,0,0,0) !important;
}


/* add subtle highlight to hovered menu items */
.side-menu-app a:hover, .side-menu-app.active, .side-menu-app a:focus {
background: rgba(0,0,0,0.1) !important;
}

Even though I tried out how it would look like when applying the NC colors, using the Custom CSS app (which I already heavily employ) to do this didn't cross my mind. Thank you, that works great.
