Breaking change

Proposed change

This feature has been available for a while. You can add the background block in yaml, there is just no visual editor. I couldn't find a reason why it isn't in the dashboard detail editor already.

Adds a background tab to the editor (when in edit, not new dashboard). Reuses styling and components from the view editor.

Came from a discussion in discord here: https://discord.com/channels/330944238910963714/1475552784278360176/1495790069720813669

IMO, we should propose a list of pre-defined background and color, and allow user to upload their own background. The background editor is too complex for the audience we want to target with this dashboard.
The background image should be :

  • always fill view
  • always center
  • no repeat

@timmo001 Yeah may be the manual on can be simplified and we can an advanced mode for all the parameter. For now, the background editor is too complicated with too many options to bring it to home panel.
