It would to great to use a (tiled) background image instead of a plain
color in EWB. Will that be possible in a future release?

Thanks Uli

BTW: RGB is totally confusing - I mean, at least #C0FFEE should be
brown, right?

I agree with you. I will be nice

My favourite number and yes it is confusing. Maybe it has #faded1 or
it's a #defec8.

Uli,

Yes. The whole issue with images as backgrounds goes to the transparency
deficiencies of Windows container controls (imagine a partially-transparent
themed form frame over a tiled image on the desktop), and is one of the
reasons why MS came up with WPF in the first place.  I have to do something
similar with EWB and add my own WPF to EWB for design-time usage.  It sounds
difficult, but it's not too bad and will be done as part of the process of
opening up the IDE to 3rd party components/controls.

Damn, I'm an idiot - I didn't get Uli's joke until I read your post.

Good one, Uli !
