[iOS] Allow custom iOS widget color scheme

[mmcgill829]

Thanks for implementing a widget for the app for iOS14. However, the lack of the ability to set a static color scheme is frustrating. 

The widget automatically changes color based on playlist/artist image, but doesn't seem to adjust to black/white. 

Many users have spent a large amount of time setting up custom icon sets and themes that this widget clashes with. I have a black/white setup on mine, for example, and the bright green widget just doesn't work. 

Would be as simple as adding a menu in settings for widgets and allowing choice between color schemes. Should be fairly easy from a coding perspective.

So i found a way to make it fit in to the color scheme of the site by just removing the color all together.

Would love to have control over the color of the widget though.

Just add the following line to your styling:

-webkit-filter: grayscale(100%);
