adding coustom backgrounds?
Hello, I am trying to add a custom background but I couldn't get the addon to add the image via url.
Make sure that your image is publicly accessible, i.e. you can go to the URL and view it from your web browser, and that the image does not take more than 5 seconds to render.
If this still occurs, can you open the browser developer panel by right-clicking on the page and select Inspect (or press Ctrl + Shift + I on Windows/Linux or Cmd + Option + I on macOS), change to the Console tab, search for ‘content.js’ within the panel and send us a screenshot of the result?

I see, and how do I make the side bar + post background transparent with a blur?
Under Style, set the background colour of posts and sidebar with a transparency level between 0 and 1 using rgba(). The Theme Blur level you've set will apply accordingly.

what do I change to make it transparent though? Idk the exact settings to change
thanks, now all I wanna know is if there is a way to change the background colour of the left side bar
Hi. Yes, "Side Menu: Background Colour" is the option you want.
As @bmndc has said, you need to use an rgba colour code to get translucency, I'm planning to add an interactive colour picker eventually, but in the meantime, you can use a tool like this to easily get the code https://rgbacolorpicker.com.
If you are still having trouble adding a certain background image, let me know the link and I'll look into it for you.
I managed to get a custom background and transparance effects for the main sidebar and post background. but im hoping to get the rest
