Good but gimmicky

The code for the smooth scroll is very solid, I just wish that you didn’t put a crappy back to top button by default. I say crappy because aesthetically it really doesn’t look good. It’s a boring gray color with a blurry rasterized image as opposed to a vector. I want to be able to disable this and yet you advertise that your plugin has no dashboard item. It definitely should so people can turn this off. Will rate better if an option to disable the back to top button is implemented.
