Not entirely. If you tie the background to the deck now, it may be 
harder to change later (especially as right now it isn't tied; you'd be 
doing work just to undo it again, wouldn't you?).

You mean change the tile but not the glyphs? Well... if you change the 
tile, there is a good chance you want to change the glyphs also, if only 
color, so it's not the same. Card fronts and backs have a pretty neat 
separation.

Imperial Jade appears to be a copy of Default... with the glyph colors 
all changed to white.

You mistake my meaning. A "style" is size plus shape, e.g. "4:3 rounded 
5%" or "4:5 sharp".
