Custom Images doesn't work

[dannyTorres]

The default images work perfectly:

but when I add my own images they just doesn't show.
This is my settings.json
{ "workbench.iconTheme": "vscode-icons", "vsicons.projectDetection.autoReload": true, "window.zoomLevel": 0, "editor.tabCompletion": true, "editor.smoothScrolling": true, "emmet.triggerExpansionOnTab": true, "background.customImages": [ "http://i.imgur.com/dJgdzCd.png" ], "background.useDefault": false, "background.enabled": true }

This is the result:

I don't know if I missing something in the configuration.

OS: Win10
VS Code: 1.16.1

PD: I'm running VS Code as admin.

I put these settings in the user parameters file :
/home/nicolas/.config/Code/User/settings.json

"background.useDefault": false,
"background.customImages": [
    "/home/nicolas/Images/fcgb.png"
]

But it doesn't change anything, the images are still the default images.
Any idea ? :)

@blackbart420
It seems there's sth wrong with the path of image.

Drop the file into webbrowser,then copy it in url field.

[blackbart420]

You are right @shalldie
so the correct path is:

"background.customImages": [
    "file:///home/nicolas/Images/fcgb.png"
],

but I still see the default image...

Also I tried this setting:

"background.style": {
    "opacity": 0.1
}

but opacity does not change.

Finally I tried this:
"background.enabled": false

but it does not do anything, my settings are not being used, even by restarting vscode

@blackbart420
It's strange... Seems you've no authority to edit vscode's file.

steps：[help] => [developer tools] => [console]
Is there any error in the console?

[blackbart420]

No, nothing :(

[blackbart420]

But,
except the file workbench.main.css,
is it another file for which I need write permission ?

[shalldie]

@blackbart420
It's the only file which needs permission.

    "background.enabled": true,
    "background.useDefault": false,
    "background.useFront": true,
    "background.style": {
        "content": "''",
        "pointer-events": "none",
        "position": "absolute",
        "z-index": "99999",
        "width": "100%",
        "height": "100%",
        "background-repeat": "no-repeat",
        "opacity": 1
    },
    "background.customImages": [
        "file:///D:/Users/s_xie/Desktop/lbpc.gif"
    ]

This's all my setting about background.
Edit and try , there should be a tip appear while enter ctrl+s.

[blackbart420]

Yes you are right again :)

So what does this mean ?

[blackbart420]

Wait, this is weird..

Actually, in issue 72, I made a mistake.

I did chown on file workbench.main.js

Now I did chown on the correct file, workbench.main.css and now the custom images are working!

But this is very weird that the chown on workbench.main.js resolved my issue about the default images.....

[shalldie]

@blackbart420
No...It does nothing on .js,just the .css.
So permission on .css is needed.

... What makes it work with .js... i have no idea >_<#@!

[blackbart420]

Hello shalldie,
I updated VSCode so the bug came back.
So indeed, it works only by changing ownership of file workbench.main.css
I did not need to change ownership of workbench.main.js

[shalldie]

@blackbart420
Yes , just the css file

@blackbart420 Hey I'm sorry to bother you but how exactly did you get it to work. I'm kind of a newbie to code. Does this extension only work if I manually enable permissions after each update?
