Yeah, the background contributed heavily to the colors I was using when working around on theme designer years ago. That and I felt the tan and blue colors would bring to mind the sea and beaches, which sailors will inevitably find sooner or later, as well as throwing in some gold because, well... pirates like treasure! And treasure is gold! (...Most of the time! So long as you're not thinking like Luffy and are valuing an abstract or entirely different kind of treasure.)

I'm glad to see the new background doesn't clash too heavily with the colors I've set up, which is why I haven't changed them by now.
