Unfortunately, there is not a way to do this. The background image is currently hosted by Concrete. However, I found a forum that has a solution:

Actually, there is a way to do this (and the link provided by @growthecurve shows how, so I don't know why he said there's no way).

To disable the image, add the following line to your config/site.php file:

define('WHITE_LABEL_DASHBOARD_BACKGROUND_SRC', '/concrete/images/spacer.gif');

To show a different image, change the path so it points to your own image file.

I was referring to that there's no way in the dashboard, not that there wasn't one period.

Ah, got it. I bet this would be a really easy addon to throw together -- create a dashboard page that lets users choose an image from the file manager, then that image path is piped into this (or I suppose the image would need to be saved to a specific location that was already set via this setting)

Sweet as - thanks for that mate.

Do you think there might be a way to show the site you're editing under the control panel windows - instead of an image (just like the normal content editing windows)?

Love the new dashboard but couldn't help wonder that if the client could see their site under the CP windows, it might connect c5 with what they're doing even more?

Thanks for the config BTW - worked a treat.

Cheers

I'd like to see just the site under the windows too, that would be a nice option

The background image is easy to turn off.
1. Go to the dashboard and click on System & Settings
2. Choose "Interface Preferences"
3. Choose "Background Image" then choose "None" or "Choose your own image"
That's it!
