Let theme register backgrounds and background images?

[strarsis]

Like with add_theme_support( 'editor-color-palette',, themes should be able to register their own gradients and images for background, too.
And what about complex backgrounds that use wrappers and pseudo-elements?

Apparently this is already in the core and can be set up by theme:

Yes, this is on the list along with few more updates which are planned for release by end of the month.

We are working on an update to add the Native gradient picker.

The core is introducing a new hook to add support for colors to block via block support currently its experimental. We are planning to use it in the future.
