Describe the bug

Hi @artf Is there a chance that this feature could get some attention? I find it fundamental. There is a lot of great functionality added to grapesjs since 0.17.29 (the last one grapesjs-style-bg plugin supports) and I would love to use the new versions of grapesjs. Its great functionality offering easy workflow in layers of gradients, colors and transparency of images is crucial to me and holds back from upgrading. Thank you so much for your consideration.
You can use the background color input for an image color but the UI looks confusing and should be changed.

Yeah, I disabled the previous plugin with color/gradients as it's not compatible with the latest versions but I'll work on it soon. For now, I close this issue as it has nothing to do with the core itself.
