Letting users customize the default background on PMC homescreen (Was: Re: Ideas Critical to PMC)

[Shantanu Tushar Jha]

Hi Harshit,

First of all, just a note, whenever you have a new thing to discuss, it is
a bad idea to reply to an existing thread which is not directly related
(this is popularly known as hacking others' threads :P)

To the topic, I personally don't think it is a good idea to let the user
change the background of the media center. The rationale behind this is
that the background is part of our UI so changing it can lead to visual
inconsistency.

I'll love to hear from others' views on this, especially our Usability
folks.

Cheers,
