In order to have consistent styles.
Until now I was removing background images that had no gameplay value.
Which color variable to use in which case is not always clear.
What to do if a style for a game is not in the bgagame-* parent (as it is the case for tooltips)

Hi, and sorry for the late reply, I was very busy lately.

Until now I was removing background images that had no gameplay value.

I personally like how custom backgrounds enhance game immersion.
I usually prefer to use dark background if one is already available in options (like for Azul) or daken the current one.

Which color variable to use in which case is not always clear.

Sorry but it's not clear for myself too, haha 😅
I usually use $surface, $lightSurface and $lighterSurface for backgrounds that make a delimitation between areas. Which one to use is totally subjective, depending on how it is important for gameplay and for comfort. Don't worry to much about this as soon as it looks good to you.

$primary is used to replace everything that is blue on default theme (buttons, highlighten text and links, shadows, etc.)

What to do if a style for a game is not in the bgagame-* parent (as it is the case for tooltips)

First look if there are no game specific css classes for these (it happens for some games), if not fix it anyway.
I hope this won't create a bug on another game, but for now it never happened as far as I know.

Anyway thank you for all your contributions lately, that is amazing!
Feel free to make any suggestions if you have any

Thanks :)

By the way, I made a suggestion report on BGA asking them to add the game specific class on tooltips https://boardgamearena.com/bug?id=59022

Great! I added my vote, let's hope developers will take this into consideration
