New terminal = no background picture? Get real!

I can't believe this... I just bought a new iMac and excitedly revved up the terminal to do some work, but lo and behold, terminal suddenly doesn't allow for background images to be used?

I'm sure you've all run into this. Is there a way around? Heck, would it be possible to just use the old terminal application?

Re: New terminal = no background picture? Get real!

how can you do any work, if you can't read the  screen?

If you're a real glutton for eyestrain, you can, of course, change the background color's alpha component--there's a little slider for transparency.

Really, that's what you're pissed about?
