Hi, 

It would be cool to allow users customise their application backgrounds with their own images. Sure, it's low priority, but definitely would look good.

It would also make a nice branding feature for the upcoming releases.

I came across a request about this on reddit.

Sahil, resolve as fixed?

Now we can customize the application background and set a bitmap (tiled or stretched) from the `tools > options > appearance` tab. The list has quite
a few bitmaps. 

Since the request says "Support custom application backgrounds" ==> marking as resolved. Support for using user images instead of builtin ones can be added via EasyHacks.
