As far as I know, the framebuffer layer allows you to replace the real console with an X-less graphical canvas on top of which you could implement a terminal emulator that supports background images. Thus, it would be possible to implement something which is extremely close to a console using a background images. This is definitely not something that should be a part of fish, though. It should be written as a separate program that would allow you to have background images, high resulutions, antialiased fonts and a thousand other fantastic inventions in _all_ running applications, not just when using the shell proper. I am afraid that hacking the frambuffer is not one of my interests, so I will not be pursuing such a project, but if one ever surfaces, it should run perfectly well together with fish.
