Vlad Is this temporary or will there be another solution? I can't find anything called "your profiles" or "backgroundImageOnStartPage" in the location described here.

      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.

                            saul Does it sync to your desktop? Because my desktop syncs to iOS. Does then your desktop and mobile have different?

                                Vlad I just tested, it doesn't seem to sync, no. However I should mention that I don't use safari nor do I use background images, so this was from a very brief test.

                                    Would love to see the ability to set background images on ios homepage!

                                        I would like this feature to support using webm or animated webp format too.

                                        So people like me can set a beautiful animated background image. (Opera supported this)
