Can reproduce. Changing the color scheme from either the menubar or the context menu results in BackgroundColorMode not being updated in the gwenviewrc file. Mine appears permanently stuck on `BackgroundColorMode=DocumentView::Neutral`

Probably related to the UI overhaul that removed the background color chooser from the status bar. Noah, could you take a look?

In Gear 22.08 this isn't fixed.

Turnes out that you can choose a background color in Gwenview but that the option has moved to the "View" menu. In this menu there is the option that, for a short time, lived in the status bar of Gwenview. And it works too.
