Some of these may illustrate the behaviour better: * Float * Unassigned * Global
I am liking global most. It explains the object can be placed anywhere in the stack regardless of layers hierarchy.
If we can't hide it for one reason or the other, I do agree with Jakob that it should be called "Global"... or hmm, maybe "Canvas"? after all we're working on the canvas all the time. Canvas just came to my mind, and I like it better since it's a thing after all and not an adjective, on the other hand it has a bit of the same defect as background... sounds a little bit like it was all the way behind everything else.
Anyways, either one is fine with me, but Background is misleading.
