Description
Description of the new feature/enhancement
What about a set of rolling background images instead of a single one that Windows Terminal currently supports? Looking at the same background all the time gets boring.
I like Windows Themes w/ the desktop backgrounds slideshow feature. I download a theme and I get a set of rolling background images on my desktop. What about that same concept w/ Windows Terminal? Thoughts? 💭
Screenshot reference of Windows 10:
Proposed technical implementation details (optional)
add a "backgroundImages" : [ "file1.jpg", "file2.jpg" ] property to profiles.
