Description H. 2007-04-02 22:14:41 UTC
Many people that i know would really like to see a background image in textwidgets. Being able to change this and not only the colour would be great.
Is there a possibility to implement this? It's possible to have this in gnome-terminal, so why not in a normal textfield?
