Currently we need hacks and workarounds just to make a simple feature work : Setting Background Images.

This is what i could do 7 years ago in ATOM editor : Could add background with translucency and CSS text effect.

I understand that enabling full CSS features could be performance problem , so what i am requesting is only following features.

  • A Proper API to set Background
  • Optional Translucency/Tinting support
  • Optional Blurring support

It was requested here : #84120
but shot down : #84120 (comment)

How does that increase productivity? I find it unlikely that we would allow this, but maybe there is a good argument to do it.

This is not just for "Looking Good' as It have a lot of productivity use cases and could make a lot of useful extensions that:

  • Cheatsheets as Background Images , changes depending on programming languge/framework
  • Charts / Graphs / {Stock,Crypto} Prices / Process Monitors Dynamically updated at the back ground.
  • Motivational / Quotes chaning every set hours.

This is some of very few usecases that is not just for looks but
