Hi Eliot,

if you drag-drop an image into the world, inspect it, choose the
"originalForm" in that SketchMorph. On that form you do:

ReleaseBuilder setProjectBackground: originalForm.

Then, you will have it also for new Morphic projects. 

Basically, you want to set the color/fill-style of the project's world
(resp. paste-up morph). Hence, related interfaces include:

Project >> #setAsBackground:
Project class >> #defaultFill:
PasteUpMorph >> #fillStyle:
MorphicProject class >> #defaultFill:

If you have a form and you need a fill-style, you can either create a
BitmapFillStyle with this form or create an InfiniteForm with it, which will
also be accepted as fill-style.

BitmapFillStyle class >> #fromForm:
InfiniteForm class >> #with:.

In FormCanvas, BitmapFillStyles will be converted into InfiniteForm anyway.
See, for example,

FormCanvas >> #fillRectangle:fillStyle:
FormCanvas >> #setFillColor:
InfiniteForm >> #displayOnPort:offsetBy:

Best,
Marcel
