I realize this is a bit tangential to your main point, but I'm not sure 
what you're missing with backgrounds. I still occasionally port old HC 
stacks and their backgrounds work fine, including their original HC 
scripts. LiveCode uses the same syntax, which MetaCard introduced in 
order to be compatible with HC stacks.

To reproduce HC backgrounds, just make a group, set its 
backgroundBehavior to true, and it's layer to 1. That's it. It will work 
like HC did. Limit yourself to a single background on a card and you 
have the old paradigm.
