Hi, I like vikunja but the camelids are an acquired taste. It would be nice to be able to -set background colours/themes -customise background images -change the startup/login screen welcome image (ie. through interface without changing the source code) Also noticed that the image background for a project does not scale or repeat - what should its dimensions (or aspect ratio) be to be visible without cropping issues? Thanks! ---

Currently, there’s no way to customise the colours and images unless you’re making the changes in the source code and build it yourself. The background images should scale to fit the screen. If you can reproduce this on the demo, I’d love a bug report (here or on GitHub). ---

OK. I’ll put in a bug report.
