Background modification doesn't work for non-images

You can use the background color input for an image color but the UI looks confusing and should be changed.

Yeah, I disabled the previous plugin with color/gradients as it's not compatible with the latest versions but I'll work on it soon. For now, I close this issue as it has nothing to do with the core itself.

Thanks for reporting this, @DavidHarvey.

Great question about Background modification doesn't work for non-images. The recommended approach with StyleManager is to use the event-driven API.

Start here:

1. Check the GrapesJS documentation for your specific module
2. Look for the on() event listener method
3. Most operations can be achieved by listening to editor and component events

Common patterns:

// Listen for changes
editor.on('change', () => console.log('something changed'));

// Component lifecycle
editor.on('component:mount', (c) => console.log('component ready', c));
editor.on('component:update', (c) => console.log('component updated', c));

If you're still stuck:

• Share a minimal CodeSandbox reproduction
• Include what you've already tried
• Mention your GrapesJS version
