Hello Aziz! Thanks for the bug-report! Changing the background is definitely a future goal to implement (think of a layer sidebar on the right) For now there is already a solution to work with: you can drag-and-drop images into layerstyles to use them as background images. And you can also pick the colors of said background images.
Resize is already implemented (though buggy sometimes) - the handler is in the bottom right corner of the element. I also though about a direct width&height input - do you think this level of precision would be needed or is mouse-resizing enough?
Thanks for quick response. I've tried the drag and drop to change the background image and it's great. The problem I noticed is that a lot of great features you implemented are not easily discoverable. A short help menu on the corner with a little bit of documentation would help designers/coders find out faster about these little things (resizing or setting the background image). On the long run, I would love to see more Photoshop like UIs for resizing and dealing with background colors and images.
It's a busy week for me but I hope I can fork your wonderful project this weekend and contribute little things here and there.
thank you! that would be great to have a first contributor! you're absolutely right about the discoverability. I just also had a pretty busy week and no time yet to improve on it.

I still prefer to be able to resize the element to the exact size. my suggestion is having something like the below screenshot from PS on the top
It would be great if I can customize the background and see my element on the desired background. I would also prefer to be able to resize the element to the exact width and height using a resize (transform) menu with input fields rather than just resizing it with the mouse.
