its much more than that actually. The buttons as they are now are already high contrast, black and white and depending on the color of your background image the button colors change, so the background color is very important (in this skin) for the main buttons. The color of the background also will affect the screens brightness. Secondary buttons dont have transparency and are black so no matter what those will likely have to change. Also, the contrast of the background with the buttons is also important so you can see the button easier, otherwise you just see the text depending on how washed out the sunlight is making your screen. Also there are a lot of other elements in the skin that are not buttons that you want to see and the background directly affects these elements. This isnt just for readability either, you also want it to look good, otherwise you could just turn on high contrast mode in windows or invert all the images in teh skin, but it would look like crap, very readable crap.
