Background 0.2.0

• Open the Background controls in the right sidebar from the ribbon or command palette. The panel follows the selected tab and keeps that target when the controls receive focus.
• Choose an independent vault-local image for each tab. Preview the image and adjust its strength without affecting other tabs.
• Use no background, inherit the region image, reset the selected tab, or adopt its image and strength as the region default.
• Configured paths follow image renames inside Obsidian. Closed-tab choices are removed, and late chooser results cannot update a closed target.
• Preserve existing numeric per-tab opacity settings and keep text, controls and paper opaque.

Validation: 28 behaviour tests, source/metadata checks, and 10 actual Obsidian 1.13.7 view checks through the app API, including unload cleanup. Native pointer automation was unavailable in this environment; the app-view checks and synthetic-vault screenshot are recorded separately.

Desktop Obsidian 1.13.7 or later. MIT-0. No runtime dependencies or network service. Existing 0.1.1 releases are preserved.

Background 0.1.1

Background 0.1.1

• Uses the directory-compatible plugin ID background; the display name remains Background.
• Publishes the source, documentation and original demo SVG artwork under MIT No Attribution (MIT-0), copyright 2026 Qiulin Fan.
• Adds matching English and Simplified Chinese guides, using the existing simulated workspace screenshots.
• Adds a checked release workflow that verifies the tag, manifest, package and compatibility versions before attaching exactly main.js, manifest.json and styles.css.

Install

Download the three attached plugin files to <vault>/.obsidian/plugins/background/, restart Obsidian, and enable Background. Requires Obsidian Desktop 1.13.7 or newer. GitHub release availability does not mean the plugin is already listed in the community directory.

Updating from 0.1.0

The earlier release used the ID obsidian-background. Disable that copy, back up its folder, and install this release in background/. To preserve image paths and opacity settings, copy the old folder's data.json into the new folder locally before enabling it. Keep only one copy enabled. The plugin does not migrate folders or edit your configuration automatically; do not upload data.json.

The published 0.1.0 tag and assets are preserved. This release changes packaging and licensing; the wallpaper and opacity implementation is unchanged.

插件 ID 改为符合目录要求的 background，显示名称仍为 Background。源码、文档和原创演示 SVG 使用 MIT-0 许可；新增双语指南和版本检查发布流程。

将三个附件放入 <vault>/.obsidian/plugins/background/，重启 Obsidian 并启用。需要 Obsidian Desktop 1.13.7 或更新版本。GitHub 已发布不代表已进入社区目录。

从 0.1.0 更新时，先停用并备份旧的 obsidian-background/ 文件夹。若需保留图片路径与强度设置，在启用新版本前，将旧文件夹的 data.json 在本地复制到 background/。只启用一份插件，不要上传该配置文件；插件不会自动迁移文件夹或改写配置。
