Background images (custom/unsplash)

Does carbon-now-cli support background images as carbon.now.sh does? 🙂

Hey @flxwu, thanks for opening. 🙂

carbon-now-cli does not support background images, I actually remember intentionally leaving this out when I started working on this tool.

Personally, I’ve never seen a piece of code from Carbon being shared with a background image and felt the additional work was not worth it. I still feel that way about it, to be honest. 🙃 Plus with presets and --open, manually adding a background image here and there isn’t a big overhead imo.

Hey @mixn , thanks for sharing this!

We're building a Twitter bot for the https://github.com/30-seconds/ projects and would like to use your tool for creating a nice image, but it would be a lot more awesome to have an unsplash background 🙂

@flxwu Thanks for using it, really appreciated! I’m a big fan of the 30 seconds project myself. :)

I’ll think about this some time soon. Not a high priority atm, but I’ll leave it open as a feature-request that I’ll eventually, probably, maybe implement some time. 😄🙃 It’s interesting to see that people do actually need / want this, as I thought it was quite unnecessary.

Thanks for chiming in. :)

@flxwu Could you provide a/some ideal usage examples for this feature? How would you expect it to work?
