Well, then that's all right, then... except that the mechanism that worked for MM1 (using a separate data directory) no longer works in MM HD. I asked Vern about that. He's going to support another way which will allow the new backgrounds to be bundled with all the other resources.
The only way it could work would be to add the files to the Screens data folder.... however, I don't think this is something that ought to be encouraged especially when a better way is in the works.
Besides there's mansions like Oline's Coffeehouse that shouldn't be played without it's background images IMO. It's too much a part of the mansion. With a little patience these mansions will be able to be played as intended eventually. Obviously, it's up to the designers, but there's no reason to rush those mansions is there?
Basically, I've been counting custom backgrounds as custom graphics.
