Idea: Ambiances with multiple background images?

I love the "Ambiance" feature on my Jolla but having to manually change the background image every time I want to see bit of visual change is bit boring. This has to do also with the fact that all the default Sailfish apps use the exact same colour scheme of the one background image you've chosen for your ambiance.

I thought it would be amazing if Sailfish had the option to create lists of background images for an ambiance, instead of one image. For example, let's say you have a collection of space images you would want to use for your ambiance. You would make a list or a folder with those images, select the rate how fast the image would change (every 5/10/15... min etc.), select other settings for the ambiance and voila! The images would magically change like a desktop background on the computer. That would make ambiances feel more like "themes" or "profiles". I also wish there would be more settings with ambiances like which ambiance is activated during different hours of the day etc.

I think this feature should be inbuilt to the Sailfish, but an app could do as well. I'm dying to get this feature but I cannot code. So what do you guys think?

Ps. Sorry if I'm not being clear
