Looking at the options, it doesn't look like you can change the background to something other than a single colour.
There is an option within the settings to change the transparency (so you can make it similar to the terminal in Linux Mint).
Right-Click on the title bar for the console, click Options. Under the 'Looks' option, there is a 'Transparency' section, just select a level of transparency there.
Additionally, to make the background a slightly different colour, just click the 'Background' button and select a new colour.
