I think given that Neovide supports crazy vfx and cursor animations, it wouldn't be too out of place to support background images as well. A lot of programmers when asked about background images for a code editor will say it's a ridiculous feature that makes code hard to read, but they are missing the more subtle use-case: setting a faint and soft tiling pattern at a low opacity! For example...

Bonus point if there's support for a multiply operation instead of transparency, which give nicer and more consistent results across various color schemes. Imo this can really make an editor sexy as hell. Why make the editor sexy you ask? Well, we all have our weird passions...

Hmm, wondering if we should add a "sexy" tag.

Only two reasons why do I still use iTerm:

  1. Custom line height support (without weird font editing which breaks telescope)
  2. Background images support

Why stop with images? I usually use neovide with transparency + my animated background, since I'm on linux I can't blur the neovide transparent background but I solved that with blurring the wallpaper itself instead:
