Custom Character Sheet Backgrounds #15

Open zeg-io opened 6 years ago

Would be cool to inject a "pick a custom background" into the background selector (just ask for a URL)

Just re-read. I mean background image on the background image selector on the character sheet view

So I am not sure if @emfmesquita would rather this be apart of his extension or mine. But I did start working on this for the character sheet. I already have a preview for the theme selector, so you can pick any valid color and that will be your theme.

If you go to this post, you'll see a preview of the theme colors working. I am going to start on the background image next.

I do personally think that this fits better with the theme of beyondhelp more than it does D&D Beyond Toolbox. So if this is something you (@emfmesquita) would rather include in your extension, I can help implement it.

EDIT: Just wanted to include a reason, why this is a terrible thing to implement via a Chrome Extension and a much better request for D&D Beyond is that each character will take up some of your storage meaning you can store less and less information. For example, I have 24 characters and if each of them has custom settings for their character sheet that space adds up.

I am working on it, but this is something we really should convince D&D Beyond to implement, it would work better, faster and not use up vital storage space on chrome extensions.
