This is an extension which lets you set a random or specified background image for each code window.
Supported file formats (at the moment):
.jpg
.png
.gif
Feedback is highly appreciated.
NOTE: This is more of a beta than a stable extension. This extension is being developed continuously even as you read this note. If there is an error on startup it could help installing the Visual Studio SDK.
