I am sorry if you take it that we are against custom graphics, Joe. This thread was created for discussion about pros and cons of normal vs. custom graphics and the opinion of the players and designers. In my small post above I cannot find any evidence that I am against custom graphics in any way. This thread is in no way intended as a debate against custom graphice designers, which have put much effort into their work, often with stunning results.
Now we all know that some players just love these custom graphic/music mansions, while others find it difficult to cope with (some of) the changes. Like there was someone complaining about the mask of Jack in Wingy's Star Craft episodes, because his or her old eyes had troubles following the new Jack around the screen. It is also, for some of the older people, a question of enough contrast between different tiles and sprites vs. tiles.
So as I said before: Designers, design at your free will but don't expect everyone to like all your mansions. Players, play at your free will but don't expect every mansion to fit your MM needs.
