It's apparently being kept up to date:

https://github.com/wachikun/emacs_bgex

Unfortunately all the text surrounding it, and even the doc strings are
in Japanese, so reviewing the code is difficult.

I've Cc'd the author of bgex, because it would be nice to have
backgrounds in Emacs windows.

Tadashi -- would you be interested in integrating the code into Emacs?
If that's the case, translating it into English would be a useful first
step.

Hi Tadashi Watanabe,

I noticed that you have recently updated your e-mail address in the
bgex.el file on https://github.com/wachikun/emacs_bgex

We have discussed if it would be possible to integrate the "bgex" patch
into Emacs itself.  We think the feature is useful.  Would you be
interested in that?

See the previous discussion below, or here:

    https://debbugs.gnu.org/20647

Thanks in advance.

Best regards,
Stefan Kangas

Once it is translated, we will be able to provide feedback and hopefully
we should be able to fix up any issues.

Please let us know when you have posted it, and thanks for working on
this.

Best regards,
Stefan Kangas

Hi Stefan Kangas,

I have translated the following and pushed it to GitHub.
(This is a machine translation, so there may be some strange parts)
