Color Image in buffer/face/frame background

Color Image in buffer/face/frame background

[Szabó Péter]

Hi!

[I already made some posts to the newsgroup, but they did not seem to make
it to the list.
So I'd like to apologise if this is not the first time you see this 
message :-)]

I am using emacs 21.[12] under XFree, and it would be nice, if I could 
set a color
picture as buffer/frame background.
I found set-face-background-pixmap, but that only worked with bitmaps (2 
color
XMB files).
I know this is just eye candy, but it would be nice to have a paper like 
effect in
the text background :-)

So my question is:
    Is is possible to do this with current versions of emacs?  If yes, how?

Yours:
    Péter

No it's not possible.

Planned in the near future?

If you use gnome, you could run gnome-terminal, go into Settings | Image 
and then select the one you want.  Then you could run emacs in that 
terminal.  With a little playing around, it would probably be possible 
to get all of this into one command line, something remotely like

gnome-terminal --some-option-for-image --command emacs &

The above obviously won't work, though some collection of options
should.  I'll leave the details to your free time.  


Cheers,
ken
