This is fine for the most part but there are two issues with the custom background:

• Hot-linking to external third party service.

• I'd probably need to have a license to use this artwork? Since I'd imagine it's protected under copyright law.

Not sure how to go about resolving either.

@aeristhy
The image is loaded from the Pixabay CDN, Pixabay provides free images & royalty free stock. The image is therefore licensed under the Pixabay License, which allows usage even without attribution.

The hot linking is definitely an issue though, would it be possible to allow adding an media folder to a theme to store content like this?

[QazCetelic]

I just checked it and the revolt servers will have to store the media.

NO HOTLINKING - what does that mean?
If you want to show Pixabay media on your website, please upload them to your server. Pixabay media URLs don't work on external sites.

I see, this should fix issues Insert was worried about(I think)

I opened an issue (#24) to add a media folder so that this theme can be added.

The background image is embedded into the CSS now.

@insertish I think it's valid now, I found a work-around without needing the media folder.

This does create a new problem in the fact that the custom CSS file is 127 kB now.

I would either:

• Wait for discovery system to be changed to only load preset file for preview.
• Wait for media folder issue to be resolved.
• Host the image on Revolt; upload to Saved Notes.

[QazCetelic]

The image is now hosted on Revolt.

Few minor points:

@insertish It should be valid now

[QazCetelic]

@insertish will this be merged?

[Rexogamer]

The custom CSS will likely need to be updated
