Hi,

I need to give a window a small backdrop pattern, and have it "tile" to fill
the entire window without flickering. The window.backdrop property works
well, but the picture doesn't tile.

I wonder if a BackdropDrawMode as integer property might be a good idea for
future RB versions.

The effect could be selected by setting bits:

none - normal
bit 1 - tiled horizontal
bit  2- tiled vertical
bit 3- stretch horizontal
bit 4 - stretch vertical

This would come in handy for so many of my windows.
