With the latest version of TeXmacs, yes, although no nice user-interface
has been designed yet and although you will have problems when trying
to print your slides.

Just put a command such as the following in your style file:

        <assign|bg-color|<pattern|paper-ridged-light.png|*3/5|*3/5|#f0f0f0>>

In other words, you may use patterns as colours (for background,
and background of tables cells). The first parameter is the name
of a style file, the second width, the third height and the fourth
a replacement colour (also used for anti-aliasing).

Best wishes, Joris
