★ Theme background When Clear New Tab is installed and the "Theme Background" mode is chosen, backgrounds of themes that you install in the Edge Add-ons store will be automatically downloaded and appear in the new tab. If a theme background is too big or too small you can fix it (set "Background size" to "Cover the screen").

★ Your own background You can upload your own background (image, gif, video or solid color) as a background in the new tab page.

★ Cycle through different backgrounds You can make Clear New Tab cycle through your backgrounds, showing you different background every time you open a new tab.
