The Backgrounds preferences should accept color drops (from Colors! or other similar apps) just like the desktop background itself does.

If I correctly understand, currently color drops works fine on Haiku: eg If I drop a color from the application "Colors!" to the Desktop, this will change the background color. However if i do this operation while the Background preflet is open, the preview isn't updated.

Ok: I have confused "background" with "Backgrounds" (the app), sorry for the noise :-)

I think that BackgroundsApplication::MessageReceived() should only forward the dropped message if it contains a "RGBColor" data of type B_RGB_COLOR_TYPE. One could drop something else and be handled later in the method.

Replying to korli:

You are right.
