Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
When setting a custom background (either globally or per-user), it's not possible to set different backgrounds for light and dark mode, this can lead to contrast and theming issues.
Describe the solution you'd like
Users should be able to set two different custom background images - one for light mode and one for dark mode
Describe alternatives you've considered
Custom user CSS would allow users to set --image-background css variable using a prefers-color-scheme media query.

Research direction
The issue names the --image-background CSS variable and prefers-color-scheme media query; start by tracing where custom backgrounds are configured globally and per-user. Done means users can provide separate light-mode and dark-mode background images without contrast or theming problems, while the existing custom-background behavior remains available.
