Background questions
Can I upload my own background on this website?
The website is a gallery for prepared packages. Download a ready theme and import it into the CC Theme App.
Can I choose a static or dynamic background?
Yes. Each published package declares whether it contains a static image or muted video.
Does a dynamic background ignore Reduced Motion?
It should provide a static fallback and respect the host system preference.
Can every package be applied to EVA on ChatGPT Desktop?
No. EVA CodeX visual verification has not passed.
