[wp-testers] Problem with appearance -> background

[Philip M. Hofer (Frumph)]

To comment on:
@Nacin:  As you "removed" that image, we have to print out a 
"background-image:
none", in order to override any background image references in the
stylesheet.

I want it to revert to the background references in the stylesheet.   ref: 
last email sent to thread, child themes overriding and execution css order.

Sorry, didn't see your comment at the bottom about behavior being off

Expected behavior -

Theme registered a background color or image - custom-background class
enabled printf of the background css.

Theme cleared of background color and image.   custom-background class
doesn't exist AND printf of background css non-existant

Child Theme registered a background color or image - custom background class
enabled and primary themes defaults replaced with child themes registration
overrides in the printf of the background css

______________

If you test it, you will see that when you create "defaults" it overrides
everything including any changes the end user might want to make, they are
forever stuck with using appearance -> background.

Theme creators like myself, and I can only speak for myself in this regard
see it as a potential boon to my theme to have the default background and
color enabled in the appearance -> background.  But, unfortunately if a
child theme is added to it - the main theme overrides anything the child
themes look has immediately.    Regardless.   Its 'an extra setup step' to
use the appearance -> background at that time, making the end user put the
information into the appearance -> background just because it wasn’t
programmed to replace info or be empty if removed.

Frumph —

Best I can tell, this is not actually a bug. I don't think you "cleared
everything" from Appearance > Background. You pressed "Remove Background
Image," but your theme registers a default image, either via the
BACKGROUND_IMAGE constant (old) or the default-image argument passed to
add_theme_support() (3.4).

As you "removed" that image, we have to print out a "background-image:
none", in order to override any background image references in the
stylesheet.

If your theme registers a default image, we are always going to print
body.custom-background.

But, if your theme does not register a default image and you do register a
default color, then there is a small bug: If you have no customizations at
all (nothing in the DB), then it is possible to end up with the
"custom-background" body class but not actually have the <style> block
printed. The class should not be there.

I've added a comment to the same ticket,
http://core.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/20448.

If this behavior strikes you as off, please let us know.
