It would really be great if there was an option for random image from the array

[ilmam]

So for now, it only shows a specific image from custom image array based on the index. That's great, but what is ever greater, (and I would really appreciate it) is that every time I open a new file, it loads a random image from the array. It would be really awesome!

BTW, thank you for the great job!

vscode's team don't allow to change the background of vscode.

What i do is to edit the vscode's system file,to make it work.Which may cause the appear of a tip:vscode is broken.

There is no api to watch a new file's open (i can't use vscode's api), the way to use setinterval may consume cpu...
Fun idea, but hard to achieve.

I understand now, thanks for the clarification 👍

Ok, so how about saving the array of custom images in the workspace settings? Is it possible to have different image for different opened projects?

It might be possible to achieve random background everytime vscode restart.

Yes, random background everytime vscode restart is possible.

Instead of hooking css file, i used to use the way to edit entry html file to achieve this.By this way, js can work.

Emm... i've tried before, this is my story:

    I opened this [vscode 1], see the images ,lovely!
    Then i opened the [vscode 2]. What? The order of 2 vscode is the same, then i 
restart the [vscode 2].
    This time [vscode 2] shows different order of images with [vscode 1], but i still 
restart it serveral times for a better feel...
    Then the [vscode 3] , i want to it, has the images which [vscode 1] and 
[vscode 2] don't contains...... wtf , a lot of times to restart , and i was afraid 
to close thease ...

Sorry for my english , what i want to say is that， it's danger for some obsessions like me , when i got this, i want more.

This is a simple extension, i don't want to add the feature random background everytime vscode restart into this.
I think random background everytime tab/file open is funny, but still looking for a good way to achieve. 😸

Thank you for your support. It's much appreciated, but I still wonder if it's possible to hook the custom images property with workspace settings rather than user settings. Is it possible?

@ilmam
I don't think it's possible.
Extension changes the vscode's system file, which all instances work with it.
