That sort of thing is certainly intended to be covered by the Plan, along with other types of animations. I don't mean to discourage work on a feature that would just change the background color over time. It should be fairly straight forward to do in gnome-bg.[ch], if someone wants to add it. Part of the motivation for the Long Term Plan is to get the various types of backgrounds into one conceptual framework. I believe this will simplify the gnome-bg.c code substantially while making it possible to add features such as Bryan's background channels that were talked about a while back. But that doesn't mean a simple color changing feature couldn't be added now.
