I don't understand the leaning toward not using arguments? If the issue is Child Theme-related, I must disagree with the conclusion. Child Theme impact must be considered, of course - but that consideration should not dictate completely. Why deny Theme developers the ability easily to declare default background color, image, and style simply because Child Themes may not play quite as nicely with the 3.4-style implementation?<div>

ok ... until this is sorted out (glad we are still in beta), an acceptable implementation of this functionality should be considered as simply:<br><br><div style="margin-left:40px">add_theme_support( 'custom-background' );<br>

PPS: Just running a few tests ... this does break Child-Themes that do not implement add_theme_support ( 'custom-background', $child-theme-args ) specifically.<br>... and the relevance of template versus stylesheet does not play into fixing ... a strong recommendation to Child-Theme authors to maintain the exact naming conventions of the images (in this case) should be made as well.<br>
