Slides Background not installing or not inserting the image onto Slides?
This is a well-known bug Google is working to fix. See https://issuetracker.google.com/issues/69270374 for details. A workaround for this is to log out of all Google accounts and then log back in to the one Google account you want to use for Slides Background. You can also open an incognito window, log in, and use Slides Backgrounds from there. Be sure that your account has permission to install add-ons as well as permission to edit the presentation. Thanks for your patience!

Note that each background takes about 2-3 seconds to load onto the slide. We are currently working to speed up this process. Slides Background has been tested to work on Chrome, Chromium, Firefox, Opera, and Vivaldi. Please visit our help page at https://slides.doshy.org/help.html for a detailed usage guide. For further support, email us at contact@doshy.org or fill out a bug report.

This is pretty neat! I'm really liking the Waves option, but I don't understand it, is there a guide for that? Thanks

Rewrite- where I made my mistake was trying to use this in the 'power point' format. Has to be in the 'slides' format and the add-on menu presents itself. It works from there, but basically you hit 'generator' then you're presented with different color schemes. You can edit to your own liking. You're limited to the color schemes, but it does work.

This is great! I just would like to be able to provide an image and convert it into some kind of fractal. That would be really nice.

It would be nice if there was a custom colour option. If there is, can someone tell me how to create one?? Also i really want a border but i cant seem to find the option. The combinations are ugly and they even managed to ruin the rainbow option on the colour. Very dissapointed.

Love the new hexagon feature! This extension makes my slides presentations so much better. It's a little slow but I'll overlook that for the uniqueness of the backgrounds. Good customization features too.

Amazing extension, although needs some polishing. A really cool thing is the Add as image feature and the row option. These two allow you to generate geometric borders and edges, as well as add more depth and customization to backgrounds!

I don't understand this thing. First of all, it says go to Add- Ons but when I go there, there is nothing that shows me that it has been added and I don't see it either. Second of all, its called, "Doshy," there was no option for you to add it anyway. This a scam, do not download this.
