Recently looked through the orion used guide and found the preferences plist. If you go to the preferences plist for the indivdiual profiles located in ~/Library/Application Support/Orion/[Your profiles] there is a string under <key>backgroundImageOnStartPage</key> in the string it starts with file:///. Just insert the location of the file that you want. Then it shoudl work also.
Custom start page background
- Edited
Could we get (if possible) the ability to choose a custom image to place on the entire tab page like how it is on Safari:
Might be tricky to fit in with the extensions etc but they could probably just be hidden entirely on the new tab page. They're not needed.
ahh i see okay okay
You can now change start page background to any file.
See (last item)
https://help.kagi.com/orion/misc/technical.html
the brackets there indicate that you replace [your profiles]
with the id of your profile.
then, in the preferences
file, u either create or edit the backgroundImageOnStartPage
property
It would be nice to be able to choose a custom background of our choosing for the start page like Safari.

Brief Summary
Allow users to set a custom Background Image as their background instead of the current predetermined ones
Details:
<In addition to the current possible background images, allow users to add their own images from local save files. This would improve user customizability of the browser.>
I think it's a good idea. Safari already does this as well:
Already included in Desktop Orion and Desktop and Mobile Safari, setting a custom background image should be a setting on mobile.
notbenpeterson AFAIK Safari on iOS doesnt let you do that, it syncs the image from your desktop?
Vlad Not sure about whether or not it is synced, but Safari does indeed offer the ability to upload a custom background image from the gallery on mobile.
To access this feature simply go to:
New tab -> Edit (at the bottom of the new tab page) -> Background Image
You should see a + icon, assuming you don't have a custom image already set.
