Description

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.

When generating splash screen with the tns resources generate command I cant set a linear gradient background for example. The background is always one color, thus restricting the possibility of customizing our app.

Describe the solution you'd like

Something like tns resources generate splashes <Path to image> --background 'linear-gradient(135deg, rgba(7,10,61,1) 0%, rgba(18,51,127,1) 100%)' The --background option can take the value of the CSS background (or background-color at least) property

Describe alternatives you've considered

Or add a --style option that can take the path of a css file that contain the property of the splash screen.

Additional context

None.

Contributor guide

Research direction
Examine the splash screen generation code in the CLI. Identify where the background option is parsed and passed to the image generator. Modify that section to accept CSS gradient strings and convert them to an image or color.
