## What it is
A Visual Studio Code extension that lets users set custom background images in the editor, sidebar, panel, or fullscreen, with carousel, random, and per-image CSS styling options. It is configured via settings.json and distributed through the Visual Studio Marketplace.

## Use cases
- add a custom background image to vscode
- set a fullscreen wallpaper behind the code editor
- show different background images in the sidebar and panel
- rotate background images as a carousel with an interval
- randomly display a background image on each launch
- apply custom css styles like opacity and position to background images
- use local files or https urls as editor backgrounds

## When to choose
- you want to personalize vscode's appearance with background images
- you need per-section (editor, sidebar, panel) background control
- you want configurable styling without editing vscode's core files manually

## When to avoid
- you need a full theme with syntax colors rather than just background images
- you use an editor other than Visual Studio Code
- you cannot tolerate extensions that modify vscode's workbench css
