I wonder if people want being able to set their profile page background 🤔

@Gargron As in on the full page view? that'd be cool, yeah

@elomatreb @Gargron every profile link you click changes your /web/timelines background to theirs

@djsundog @Gargron I mean if we're doing profile customizations we might as well go all the way and bring back profile background music tbh

@elomatreb @Gargron #alwaysComesBackToAudioUploads

@gargron Only if I can make my profile page look like my website circa 1995.

@craigmaloney Never mind, bad idea 😂

@Gargron what about a set of global preset themes? Plus customization settings for instance admins to add in addition

@craigmaloney @Gargron can we set a MIDI to play when people view our profile

@noelle @gargron Never did the MIDI, but I did love me some Script-Fu:

@craigmaloney @Gargron truthfully, I'd love to be able to set my background image (and have the moderator option to disable it, like with avatars).

@Gargron That would be cool! 👍

@Gargron youtube was dead to me the day they removed that

@Gargron People want everything 🤔

@Gargron here we go...

@Gargron hell yes 👍

@Gargron Yes, this would be like a countermeasure against your trending proposal.

Although i want the trending function as well.

@Gargron The more personalized is, the best it is.

@gargron No MySpace!

No !!

@Gargron is mastodon that good i have high funt autism and im confused

@Gargron
As long as my profile background can be a dynamically created display of trending tags!

@Gargron go for it boi! I would love it!

@Gargron The potential for abuse is horrendous. Im shocked you dont see it.

@Gargron it would be a nice cosmetic for sure :)

@Gargron I’m impressed that you still bother to poll changes to Mastodon FE at all. Half will love it, half will throw a whiny hissy fit.

Make what you love, guy.

@Gargron YES!!!Twitter has already had this for a long time and I was already thinking about an way to get such a feature into Halcyon while it's not officially supported.Would be much easier for me if there was that setting and I can simply read it from the API response.

@Gargron yes pls
