thomaszj / vscode-background Goto Github PK

I work across several machines where the filepath is not always the same.

It would be great if I could include an image to use as my background, by referencing a file that is stored in the repo itself, where the path to the repo does not matter.

e.g config saved as @/.vscode/theme/image.png would resolve to C:/path/to/repo/.vscode/theme/image.png

After update visual studio code to 1.58, the Background extension not working anymore

The latest vscode is causing issues with this line in particular:

VSCode has updated their chromium version which is showing the error Not allowed to load local resource to appear. This is a security measure which is preventing chromium from loading files that are not hosted at a http:// server (preventing local files from being loaded since they are at file://).

I think this issue can be fixed by reading the image file, converting it to a base64 string, and then using that as the background image url instead.

The bootstrap-window.js file that is being used to load the background is only read when VSCode is first opened. The reload window command that is used to refresh the window no longer works because of this change.

vscode.commands.executeCommand('workbench.action.reloadWindow');

Currently to see any changes users must close and reopen VSCode for the background to update.

I installed the app and the background worked fine. Until i uninstalled it and even thought i stopped the background before uninstalling it, it does not go away, i restarted the vs code, i installed the app and tried to change the background and it didnt change it so now im stuck with this

ubuntu 20.04
vscode lastest.

command: background-selectImage

nothing changed

After upgrading vscode to 1.58, https:// pictures have been used. Now vscode background cannot be used normally after upgrading to 1.1.0

I want to use the https:// picture as in the previous version

The background image is actually an overlay in the foreground.

Reproduction:
Set opacity to 0.10

VScode Version: 1.53.2
Release Date: 2021-02-11

Not sure if this was always the case, im pretty sure it wasn't, because i immediately noticed the drop in contrast from the overlay.
