Feature description

I don't want or need an image here, could we add an option to simply disable it and show an appropriate background according to dark/light mode?

Pitch

I think it'd look cleaner without a background image. The obvious "workaround" is to set a solid color background image but unfortunately this breaks dark/light mode AFAICT.

Thanks for your suggestion. These kinds of customization options would make Pocket ID more complicated because there are many different design preferences. Supporting all of them would clutter the settings page.

If you want to customize the design of Pocket ID, I recommend creating a fork and editing the style to fit your needs. As a workaround, you could use the following SVG as the background image. This SVG automatically detects the browser's color scheme and changes the color accordingly:
