I agree so, we now have a problem is that panel couldn't be set background by system theme. There were many themes packed the panel background image and font settings already, it makes sense to use those theme to improve the look of panel. So if panel cannot support to use that to set itself, it will make users difficult to modify and set artwork style of panel.
