   It is probably what the wallpaper app that Arlen suggested does.

   Well, many of use thought that it is impossible that there is no way   
   that you can not set a solid colour. There are millions of colours to   
   choose from, not only 26 as in that app.   
      
   A solid colour, when selected in a computer, uses far less resources   
   than a picture, even if it is a solid colour picture. A solid colour   
   picture still has to be drawn pixel by pixel. No solid fill function!
