I dont think background screens would work well. We have some great variety in the images. Background screens would just make it hard to see. And the effect of some units, such as shades, would be ruined. They are a dark grey and give the impression of their invisibility in the combat

Yes, that's the reason why you have to use a combat window.
The combat window has a clean dark background color, but the background surrounding the window would be the map or a background image. I think the red background color of the unit description windows would even offer a much softer contrast. Black is a bit extreme.
Info windows are used by most strategy games nowadays, even by CoE3, therefore I'm a bit surprised that it wasn't used for the fights.
