Changing the background image

This theme uses a base64 encoded image. I use this website to encode my images.
To change the background of this theme, change the following in the .yaml file:

lovelace-background: 'center / cover no-repeat fixed url()'

In between the brackets, in the url() section, add your own base64 string:

# Example
lovelace-background: 'center / cover no-repeat fixed url('data:image/png;base64,YOURLONGSTRING)'

Alternatively, you can use a local image stored in your config/www directory or a publicly accessible image url like so

lovelace-background: 'center / cover no-repeat fixed url("/local/background.png")' 
# OR
# lovelace-background: 'center / cover no-repeat fixed url("http://www.reportingday.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/06/Cat-Sleeping-Pics.jpg")'

Beta versions

Beta versions may be released for personal testing. If you're using HACS, you can enable/disable beta versions by changing the "Show beta versions" setting.
