How can I change the Ubuntu app drawer background color? or how can I decrease the blur effect, I don't want to see my wallpaper when I'm on the app drawer page.

Too transparent.

large icons, wallpaper behind

I like this background.

the app drawer background color can be changed by editing gdm3.css file.

enter image description here

Please note that, with this answer, the background is not fully covered with the color we want, still edges, and the second page are transparent. i could not break the code for it.

first we need to take the back up of gdm3.css file.

this gdm3.css file is a linked file. i messed up several times with this gdm3.css file.

the best way to take backup is copy pasting the content of gdm3.css file into a new text file.

create a text file called "gdm3 backup" and save it in your preferred location.

now open gdm3.css file with you favorite text editor, mine is gedit, so

sudo -H gedit /etc/alternatives/gdm3.css

copy all the content in it, paste in "gdm3 backup" file which we created earlier.

save and close the "gdm3 backup" file.

now we will edit /etc/alternatives/gdm3.css file which is already opened.

go to line number 1321 and find the below content.

/* App Vault/Grid */

.icon-grid {

  spacing: 30px;

  -shell-grid-horizontal-item-size: 136px;

  -shell-grid-vertical-item-size: 136px; }

  .icon-grid .overview-icon {

    icon-size: 96px; }

and change it like below, replace any color you want in place of rgba field.

/* App Vault/Grid */

.icon-grid {

  spacing: 30px;

  -shell-grid-horizontal-item-size: 136px;

  -shell-grid-vertical-item-size: 136px;

  background-color: rgba(71, 68, 68, 1); }

  .icon-grid .overview-icon {

    icon-size: 96px; }

Observe i have edited line number 1321 and added this under line number 1321
background-color: rgba(71, 68, 68, 1); }

Save the file, Close & Reboot or Logout and Login to see the Change.

enter image description here

I Use this website for choosing colors https://www.color-hex.com/

Control the transparency by the fourth value in rgba(71, 68, 68, 1)

enter image description here

Other Color with 0.5 transparency: rgba(0, 165, 230, 0.5)
