Allow to set a background image

[PowerSnail]

There has been a plugin for it, but I think it has encountered various problems since VS Code 1.6. Furthermore, I think its method (modifying the CSS file it seems) is too hacky anyway. Is it possible to provide this functionality officially? Or maybe provide a better way for plugin authors, so we can get more stable background image plugins?

Thank you very much!

Currently the only correct way to do such a thing is making a theme (maybe forking or copying one from existing sources? )

Is it possible to allow custom CSS injection for users or plugins? (like Atom) #459

You have to run Code with Admin Privilege, so it can modify the files in VS Code's folder. And it produces an error message every time VS Code starts up because of the modification.

Running vscode as admin sounds like a good way to get attacked by an extension. perhaps there's a way to change the background css with a base 64 image instead?

CSS is not supported natively by vscode. See #459

This feature request will not be considered in the next 6-12 months roadmap and as such will be closed to keep the number of issues we have to maintain actionable. Thanks for understanding and happy coding!
