Tacty, you will not find a more passionate proponent of
textured backgrounds, than myself. Just ask Kris. I've been badgering him about this particular feature request, on and off, for many months now.
I understand, however, if Kris has different priorities for the moment. For example, I absolutely agree with Kris that it was
more important to release Marvin for iPhone, than to add textured backgrounds to iPad first.
Even at this point, I believe that enabling the
full synchronisation of
annotations in Marvin is more important than textured backgrounds. Following those sync issues, though, I'd place textured/photographic backgrounds at #2 of my personal priorities list. But I'm not Marvin's developer...

Feels like eternity, doesn't it? However, Marvin did not even exist a year ago. It was born in December 2012 (or late November 2012). It's
possible we started badgering Kris about textured backgrounds, in that awful mega-thread, right then in December -- I don't even remember anymore.

Well, take a look at Marvin's
GitHub listing:
https://github.com/kguil/Marvin-Roadmap/issues
As you can see, Kris has 101+ issues/feature requests to tackle there. Our particular preference for textured backgrounds is just one of them... The more of us request this from Kris, though, the likelier it is Kris will oblige us sooner rather than later. Feel free to post your support for the textured backgrounds idea to this GitHub thread:
