Insert custom background images in MindMeister

Joerg Koper

In the last weeks, I've had some situations where I could have needed an individual background for a mind map. It would be great to be able, to create a mind map with floating topics, that I can bring to desired positions of an image.

This feature would give us back the opportunity to create mind maps with a feeling of entertaining story telling 💪😎

Could be an image of a project, that has some special elements, a house with some nice windows, "road-maps" or treasure maps with marks. All these images could have eye-catchers, where topics can be positioned at.

I would love to be able to add a background to my map. I think you could in the earlier version of the mind meister

Joerg Koper

You're absolutely right @REP 👍️

👍👍👍
I would LOVE to get back background images! My maps need to be a bit more individualistic to be memorable! A custom background like this, this or this make such a big difference! 🚀✨✨

(big applause to @philippe boukobza for his stunning maps 👏👏👏).

Joerg Koper

That's really cool. How did you do that in the background? Was that on the original editor?

Cornelia Patscheider

Hi @5Cryptolas , yes that was the originally, old editor. Back in the old days, one could easily change the background color or add a picture/gif as background. I miss that feature a lot 😥

At the moment, changing the background color is only possible by choosing a new theme. And then the theme dictates the background color. A workaround I frequently use: I search for a nice map on the mind map universe and then reusing that map 💡
