 * My site had stopped loading while giving out this error notice:
 * Notice: add_custom_background is deprecated since version 3.4! Use add_theme_support(‘
   custom-background’, $args ) instead.
 * I disabled Subtle Background Patterns and am not receiving this notice now. I’m
   not sure the error is surely caused by this plugin or not, maybe it be one of
   my themes, but I did find the function “add_custom_background” in subtle_backgrounds.
   php line 194. I’m not a wordpress coding expert so dunno if its the same function.
 * Just wanted to post it in-case the developer wants to check. Its an awesomely
   useful plugin and I hope it gets the appreciation it deserves.
