Remove cat background image from Potree viewer #93

Description

@mosoriob

Problem

The Potree viewer currently displays a cat background image, which is not appropriate for professional LiDAR data visualization. The background should be neutral and professional.

Current Behavior

  • Cat image appears as background in the Potree viewer
  • Unprofessional appearance for scientific/research use

Expected Behavior

  • Professional, neutral background (solid color, gradient, or generic pattern)
  • Background appropriate for LiDAR point cloud visualization
  • Clean, distraction-free viewing experience

Tasks

  • Locate and remove cat background image reference
  • Replace with appropriate professional background
  • Ensure new background doesn't interfere with point cloud visibility
  • Test background appearance across different browsers

Files to Check

  • src/ckanext-potree/ckanext/potree/templates/potree/index.html (around line 183)
  • Look for background-image references in CSS styles
  • Check for background image files in assets/static directories
  • Potree viewer configuration files

Acceptance Criteria

  • Cat background image is completely removed
  • Professional background is implemented
  • Background doesn't interfere with point cloud visualization
  • Consistent appearance across different browsers and devices

Suggested Replacement

  • Solid dark background (#2c3e50 or similar)
  • Subtle gradient background
  • Remove background-image property to use default Potree background
