I am requesting that the UI for web access be reverted so that a black background is on the home and library screens and each item has its own background OR let users set their own backgrounds. The new backgrounds in (Server Version 1.4.2.3400, Web Version 3.0.0) aren’t visually appealing and I thoroughly enjoyed seeing the images I selected while was browsing my library instead of the mismash of colours that’s taken from the poster or “background” I’ve already selected. Additionally, clicking the button to view the image is a nice feature, but having an image as the background served an actual purpose; it can be both. The current UI still lists those images as Background right underneath Banner and right above Advanced in TV Shows, and between Poster and Info in Movies. Why call it a background if it’s not the background of anything? ---

Early 2021 clean-up: duplicate > [@Custom section backgrounds](https://forums.plex.tv/t/custom-section-backgrounds/47708): > > Back in the old versions of Plex Media Server with the old Media Manager, you had the option to set a custom background, that was shown in your Plex Clients in the main menu. In all recent clients you'll get a randomized slideshow instead. I think this is pretty annoying and I like to have static images in the home/main menu.   ![post-95727-0-28462000-1385302644.png|621x500](upload://qYt7NvSL9hQHR2LKjmT92Qnm2zg.png) ![post-95727-0-33278200-1385302646.png|212x92](upload://dy3xK61wVFaWtJZj7AVn… ---
