Background image in desktop mode

[almejo]

I am using hangups in desktop mode. I was trying to change the background but it says "sorry, there aren't any apps installed that can provide this type of content'

Is it posible to fix this in desktop mode using a file chooser dialog?

@almejo yes, I actually hope that - at least when the platforms converge - this dialog will be functional on the desktop as well (when phone apps are installable on the desktop/the content hub is fully integrated).
I'll see what I can do regarding the file chooser. The only difficulty is to detect whether the app is running on the desktop or the phone.
For now you can just copy the image file to ubuntu-hangups/custom_chat_background.png
and adjust the relevant line in settings.json:

"custom_chat_background": "custom_chat_background.png",
