My idea is that you can create your own background and append it to ddnet client so you dont have to use that one coloured borring background when playing in entities.

Wouldn't this be nice to have as a function for everyone? There could an image (png) be added to the other entity-images which are shown if you overlay entities, which represents the background. For players who want to stay with the default background, they can just leave the default file. For people who want to change the background when they use the overlay-entities-function, the can just replace the backgroundimage and it will be shown instead of the default one after restarting the clinet. This shouldn't be hard to do and is only clientsided. So only the client would have to make a little update, wouldn't it?
Seems easy to me, devs pls do that.

I'm totally against it. Entities are supposed to be simple, not have some custom backgrounds.

Who is to say that it should be simple? i use entities whenever i can't play a map with original graphics, so i turn on entities only to be able to play. its just borring playing a game in 1 colour imo, and thats why i want a costum background. So my idea with this, is you should have a bottum, where you can just have it default if thats what you want. i bet there are some people out there who want it and some who dosnt.

I personally don't care as long as you can deactivate it.
