Yeah, I'd find that annoying as well. It sounds like sloppy coding to me. Anything that can be changed by a user should reference a data file that holds user preferences. Then it will get stored - in Windows - in the user's appdata folder. Then the GUI can change the file contents for a different background and run some backgroundRefresh()
function.
I'm sure they'll get there once they get further along, but they're probably focusing more on stability.

Just watched the dlux intro video, and it looks really cool! Still though, there were some things that looked like they should have been included in the interface, like - as you pointed out - a drop-down menu for the background theme with an option for a write-in as well.
Text was moved around, and he had to transcribe the coordinates? An "apply to code" button would be great there.
Still though, I'm sure these changes will come. It takes a genius to write code for idiots, so @dlux-io has to entice more code geniuses into the project before it'll be well polished enough for mainstream use.
Looking forward to trying it out though and seeing where the project goes.
Thanks @taskmaster4450 for sharing info about this dapp.
If you look through our history we're just developing this platform out in the open hoping anybody who wants to use it and make it better can do so for everybody!
Which is also one of the cool parts of these collaborative IDEs -> when I copied and pasted code from somewhere else it just stays there for other people to build on. Of course this can get significantly cleaner... but we're still wondering how people will use it.
