Hello, Will this allow dynamic NTP background images? Looks like the type of `theme_ntp_background` is `ExtensionURL`, does it mean I can only use images packaged in the extension? Other properties seems to accept data URLs as well. Thank you.

Yes, this is for NTP background images. Dynamic theming will work, but data URLs won't work, simply for performance reasons (cross process communication is heavy).

Thanks for the answer. I was thinking about using images not bundled in the extension, e.g. downloading new images daily from free wallpaer sites, or letting users upload their own images, and using them as the background. Without data URLs, how can I pass the non-bundled images to this API?

In case someone wants to take over this patch, what's left to do is adding tests, and also fixing the fact that web_accessible_resources is required for the images to work.
