Description
Notes
The screenshot shows the userstyle applied to the dark theme, but it also works on the default theme and any of the other themes available in DuckDuckGo options.
There is a default background image set by default in the userstyle. Go to Stylus popup menu, click the gear icon next to the stylename and paste the url of an image you want to use, with the option "Background size" set to "cover".
Default image is:
`"https://images5.alphacoders.com/104/thumb-1920-1043977.jpg"` (source: https://wall.alphacoders.com/big.php?i=1043977 )
You must keep the quotes around the url. You must ensure that you add them around the url you'll be using afterward. (there is a reminder in the label of the option)

Changelog:
0.9.1: (2021-09-23) fixed a small issue where sometimes the results blocks in darkmode were displayed without a black background.
0.9.2: (2021-09-24) ddg is modifying its styles, fixing result blocks background color (in "news")
0.9.3: (2021-09-24) the background image is now only displayed on selected pages. Not on "images" and "videos" anymore (bgimg wasn't visible, but scrolling was a little bit sluggish).
0.9.4: (2021-09-24) fix to fill empty space at startup (bg displayed immediately). Bug introduced in "0.9.3" due to alternate method to display image
