I do it via `Automator` (sorry, Windows users, I don’t have automated solution for you, but see below **What it actually does**).\n\n1. Find `Build.app` file in the root of repository and open it in `Automator` (DO NOT double-click it, but open `Automator` and then open `Build.app` in it).\n1. Switch to **Variables panel**: `View \u003e Variables`\n1. Double click `backgrounds` variable and choose `tableau/backgrounds` folder.\n1. Save and close.\n\n\u003e See blog post with video instructions: [alexfedoseev.com/2017/tableau](https://alexfedoseev.com/2017/tableau)\n\nNow, you can double-click `Build.app` and it will create `images.js` file for you.\n\n\u003e FYI It will replace all spaces in image filenames with underscores.\n\n**What it actually does**\u003cbr\u003e\nThis workflow reads a content of the `tableau/backgrounds` folder and writes images index to the `tableau/images.js` file:\n\n```js\nwindow.IMAGES = [\n  'bells.jpg',\n  'whistles.png',\n  …\n];\n```\n\nSo, how you create and update this file is totally up to you. I.e. you can convert `Build.app` to folder watcher to automatically perform rebuilds or, if you’re Windows user and you have no idea how to write scripts, then you can create it manually and it will work.\n\n#### #4 Load extension\nGo to a Chrome’s Extensions list:\n\n1. Enable **Developer Mode** (check checkbox in an upper-right corner)\n1. Click “Load unpacked extension…” and choose folder with extension.\n\n\u003e See blog post with video instructions: [alexfedoseev.com/2017/tableau](https://alexfedoseev.com/2017/tableau)\n\nOpen a new tab and enjoy the view!\n\n## Adding new images\nEvery time you add new images to the `/backgrounds` folder, you should run `Build.app`, then `Reload` extension in Chrome’s Extensions list (there’s a link right under the extension name).\n\n## Customization\nThe extension doesn’t have any special configuration UI, but you can change just about everything by editing `index.html`, `index.css` \u0026 `index.js` files. The source code is dumb simple and it’s around 100 LOC incl. HTML \u0026 CSS.\n\nThe most common thing you probably will want to change is a font-face. You can do it by editing line #2 in the index.css.\n\nThat’s pretty much all.
