Description

Feature Description

Choosing the colors for the colorwheel can be done graphically and via hex. It would be nice if the color of the GUI could be choosen via hex too. That way I can make flameshot look like built in.

Contributor guide

Research direction
Examine the settings dialog where GUI color customization is implemented. Look for the color wheel widget. Add a hex input field (e.g., QLineEdit) and connect its textChanged signal to parse the hex string (e.g., using QColor::setNamedColor) and update the color accordingly. Ensure the hex input updates the color wheel and vice versa.
