What kind of drive is F:? Is it a mapped network drive? Is it removable? What version of Windows? What version of Windows Terminal?

The Error:

找到一个具有无效 "backgroundImage" 的配置文件。将该配置文件设置为默认设置为不包含背景图像。请确保在设置 "backgroundImage" 时，该值是指向图像的有效文件路径。

I encountered the same mistake and this is my settings.json file:

 {
                "guid": "{61c54bbd-c2c6-5271-96e7-009a87ff44bf}",
                "name": "Windows PowerShell",
                "commandline": "powershell.exe",
                "hidden": false,
                "fontSize": 14,
                "useAcrylic": true,
                "acrylicOpacity": 0.75,
                "backgroundImage": "https://gitee.com/Connor_Zhang/Blog/raw/master/Pics/%E5%A4%9C%E8%A1%8C.jpg",
                "backgroundImageOpacity": 0.5
            },

Setting the backgroundImage does not take effect
What should I do ?

@misss85246...

when I click on that URL, i get this:

Do you think that the background image being an invalid url might be why it isn't working?

@DHowett Thank you for answering my question
I don't think so, I tried lot's of image's URL, and none of them are effective, the background always black, I don't think these URLs are invalid. please try these images：

My Windows Version is 20H2(19042.508) & Terminal Version is 1.2.2381.0
This situation only appears on my personal computer. There is no such problem on my company's computer.
By the way, the system version and software version of these two computers are the same

Thanks!

We recommend saving images locally to avoid any issues. Do you still get an error if you do that?

Hi, It's work, thank you !
And I try to transcode the image into base64 format before adding it to the configuration,
It's also doesn't work. Is the image in base64 format not supported, or is this an mistake ?
Well, anyway my problem has been solved. Thank you very much !

Okay so it sounds like saving the images locally is the workaround to @misss85246's issue, but not OP's issue here.

@shen-lan can you successfully set the backgroundImage to another file on the machine, other than the F:\codebg.jpg one? perhaps the terminal is having difficulty with just that image in particular. I'd try images on other drives, in other directories, with different extensions, etc.

@luwanglin "I also hit this" isn't really helpful for debugging the issue. Can you successfully set the backgroundImage to another file on the machine, other than the [one that doesn't work]?
