App UI - Browser/Viewer/Preview - context menu
Sometimes it is convenient to quickly switch background color (to the predefined colors) via the context menu.
Unfortunately, this option is not available in the app.

  • (options) add 2 different context menus
    1. when clicked on empty space (new menu with only Background colors)
