        Time based background is a great idea. Are you planning on releasing this as a module?

                Just for reference, there is a similar module already. You’d better get a hint from it.
                https://github.com/BrianHepler/MMM-WeatherBackground
                It derive the background image from unsplash collections by weather and season condition(and ideally, everything if it can be translated and notified from any modules.)
