Configuration Guide

backgroundArt only has three configuration options, CSS filter string, Show when paused and disabled apps.

  • Show when paused is pretty simple. When unchecked backgroundArt will hide whenever the current media is paused, when checked it will show when the media is paused. It will always hide when the current media is stopped.
  • CSS filter string can be a bit daunting. It takes a space seperated list of filters. You can only insert a filter once, and not all filters are required. The valid filters are blur(5px) brightness(200%) contrast(200%) grayscale(100%) hue-rotate(90deg) invert(100%) saturate(8) sepia(100%) and you can preview the filters at this URL.
  • Disabled apps is a semicolon (;) separated list of all the all the apps that will be ignored by backgroundArt. The default is YouTube;org.videolan.vlc-ios. You can provide both an app name (such as YouTube) or an app bundle ID (such as org.videolan.vlc-ios)
