Research direction

Start by locating the Duo ring UI and its color configuration in the Android app, then read how the existing solid color is applied. The issue proposes user-selected colors, preset gradients, and an optional circular sweep gradient; clarify the intended gradient behavior and settings before implementation. Done means the ring can display the chosen gradient and presets are available.

Written by the indexing model from the issue text.

Description

Problem Statement

The Duo ring is always one solid color. A gradient would make it more personal and could look great around the camera cutout.

Proposed Solution
  • Add a gradient mode with two (or more) user-chosen colors, plus a few preset gradients.
  • (Optional) A sweep gradient that follows the ring's circle.
Alternatives Considered

A solid custom color (see the separate custom color picker request).
