I didn't like the backdrop node out of the box, so I made my own with some additional features.

Just drop fg_SimpleBackdrop.py in your .nuke folder and add this to your menu.py:

# fg_SimpleBackdrop

try:

    import fg_SimpleBackdrop

    nuke.menu('Nodes').addCommand(

        'Other/fg_SimpleBackdrop',

        'fg_SimpleBackdrop.fg_SimpleBackdrop()',

        'alt+b' #

except ImportError:

    pass
