<blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex">That depends (primarily for custom backgrounds): is the Theme adding additional control/functionality above and beyond what core provides for custom backgrounds? If so, then it can be considered. I would ask the same question regarding the custom image header feature, but as the core implementation is more feature-complete than the core custom background feature, the standard will be higher for custom image headers.<div>

Hello,<div>I am currently reviewing a theme which is providing Background Color/Image and Custom Header via Theme options instead of using WordPress Custom Header and Background Options. So,</div><div><ul><li>Can a theme provide it's own power instead of using default functions ?</li>
