Terrible default setting

This is probably the worst possible choice for a default skin setting. It catches me off-guard every time I create a test album while trying to help a user.

It was supposed to be "Folder thumbnail" - no idea when it got reset. I'll fix this ASAP.

I see now. The "no background" comes from the "Basic" style. If you change the style to anything else the background image comes back. I tried to make the look very basic with the Basic style to avoid unwanted features. I don't know what's better; to use another style as default or keep Basic?

I think I'd vote for Black as the default style.

If people want a more no-frills, no-theme-image look, there are plenty of options, including several Tiger styles, plus the Plain skin. But if they've chosen Tiger, they're probably expecting a few more bells and whistles.

Yes, you are right. A year ago or so I was trying to please people wishing less "frills", but since Plain was made default, there's no point in making Tiger plain too.
