If you close all the windows in the IDE, you are left with a boring empty background. Suggestion is to allow the layering of an image on the background (i.e. wallpaper) from the Tools | Options dialog. Note that the image would rarely be seen as windows normally cover all areas of the IDE. So this is nothing more than a novelty feature. However it's a nice feature as developers can personalize their IDE to some extent and companies can add a sense of branding to their environments as well. Thanks.
Better yet... just right-click the empty background and select Set Background Image... With this, no settings will be needed in the Options panel. Ability to tile and stretch would also be cool. Thanks.
