Why I can't set image background on Ubuntu 16.04? #261

I use Tilda on 2 computers: one is on Ubuntu 15.10 and the other on 16.10.

Although I have cloned and compiled the last version (1.3.3) from sources, it seems that I can't set a background color on Ubuntu 16.10. Why? Is it intentional?

The option for backgrounds has been removed in the underlying library, so we had to remove this option in tilda as well.

FYI: There exists a way to re-introduce background image support by hijacking the draw signal, see Terminix and Xfce4-terminal which have already implemented this. (It's not as straightforward as it used to be while vte supported it, though.)
