I have found a behaviour of the user interface background settings, both hex and image, are stored in the local storage of the device accessing, not as a setting in WLED. For example, if using a browser on a desktop I set an image as the background, this information is stored in the browsers local storage under _wledUiCfg_.  
The result being that when the WLED instance is accessed from another device, this setting is missing.

Perhaps this is by design, I’m not sure. I guess I can image some people may want this different on each device.  
What is the reasoning behind this? And is there a consideration to make it global?

My desire stems from living in a share house with rather untechnical people, I set background image with simple text instructions.
