You could insert a gallery item as background for a page or a paragraph (I once even saw "image" as a choice, but I could not make it work) by selecting an image in the gallery, then right-clicking and choosing "Insert as background" and then "page" or "Paragraph". This still works in 6.0.7.3. In 6.1.3.2, 6.2.4.2 and 6.3.0.1 this does no longer work. Instead of the image there is only a blue rectangle inserted if "Page" is selected, and nothing visible if "Paragraph" is selected. The only difference in these cases is that the blue rectangle covers the entire page and not only the printable region in 6.3.0.1, which is not surprising, as this was changed for release 6.3.

@Miklos, I thought you might be interested in this issue...
Some code pointers: gallerymenu2|background">Insert as Bac_kground</property> sw/source/uibase/shells/basesh.cxx-void SwBaseShell::ExecuteGallery .uno:BackgroundImage SID_GALLERY_BG_BRUSH I thought it might just be a simple problem of XATTR_FILL_ not being used. But it looks like RES_BACKGROUND is handled via unobrushitemhelper.cxx. But the end result gives a aGraphic.Type == GraphicType::NONE. GalleryThemePopup::BackgroundMenuSelectHdl passes the URL libreoffice2/instdir/program/../share/gallery/computers/Computer-Desktop.png somewhere, but so far I haven't been able to find out which black box turns that into a Graphic.
Reproduced in: Version: 7.2.0.0.alpha1+ / LibreOffice Community Build ID: bb54d6d8241a06a6772052b77b67d6a4f686426c CPU threads: 8; OS: Linux 4.15; UI render: default; VCL: gtk3 Locale: en-AU (en_AU.UTF-8); UI: en-US TinderBox: Linux-rpm_deb-x86_64@86-TDF, Branch:master, Time: 2021-06-11_20:14:38 Calc: threaded Steps to reproduce: 1. Open Writer 2. Open Galler sidebar 3. Click on Bullets (as some other categories don's seem to be filetypes that can be used as backgrounds) 4. Right click on an image 5. Use "Insert as Background" > Page or Paragraph

sfx2/source/appl/appuno.cxx'a TransformParameters, for "Background.*" has {nAID = 3, pName = 0x7fffbe5393a5 "Transparent"} {nAID = 0, pName = 0x7fffbe5393b1 "BackColor"} {nAID = 5, pName = 0x7fffbe5393bb "Filtername"} {nAID = 1, pName = 0x7fffbe5393c6 "Position"} and in galbrws2.cxx, we set comphelper::makePropertyValue("Background.Transparent", sal_Int32( 0 )), comphelper::makePropertyValue("Background.BackColor", sal_Int32( - 1 )), comphelper::makePropertyValue("Background.URL", aURL), comphelper::makePropertyValue("Background.Filtername", aFilterName), comphelper::makePropertyValue("Background.Position", ...Location_TILED), Inserting the Background.Position into subId 128+1 initializes the GetGraphic too. Well, that makes perfect sense then. Tomaz removed MID_GRAPHIC_URL which is the missing subId to handle Background.URL.
