Repository metrics are context, not quality scores. Active installations measure adoption and can strongly reflect a plugin’s age and historical popularity. Ratings, recent updates and “Tested up to” metadata also do not guarantee modern code, error-free operation, security, feature completeness or suitability for a particular site.

WP PlugIndex currently records Backdrop version 2.3.5 as active, updated 1y ago and tested up to WordPress 6.7.
Overview
About this plugin
Backdrop is a site background customizer with power greater than the mere stock background selector included with WordPress. What can backdrop do that the default can’t? I’m glad you asked…
More than just boring backgrounds, flexible backgrounds, parallax backgrounds, even sliding backgrounds are stuffed in here too (don’t worry, the boring ones are still around as well).
Options, options, options! More options that you can shake a well sharpened stick at.
Uses the WordPress customizer interface so you can see your changes as you make them.
One click HiDpi (or retina) backgrounds, make it look all purdy on that fancy screen.
Theme schmeme, we don’t need support in your stinkin theme, backdrop can force it’s way into nearly any theme.
Calls external JS and CSS files that are appropriately cached.
Advanced options for those in the know with CSS.
Built for the smoothest animations possible.
0 Backdrop will no longer work it’s magic with older versions of Internet Explorer (before version 10). X.
X, you will need to re-set your backdrop on update.
