Change the Background Color

« Configure Stars | EDGE User’s Guide | Mirror Node Position And Attitude Into Another »

There are two ways to configure the background color: an interactive way using a GUI, and using a configuration file to set it at init.

Using the GUI

These easiest way to change the background color is to use the GUI located under "Display→Background…". From here you can adjust the RGB channels of the background color and hit Apply.

From a config file

The background color is set as a DEFINE and is defaulted in edge_settings.cfg (but of course, you know by now you shouldn't edit this file!). You can copy and paste the line that sets "DOUG_BG_COLOR" into the DEFINES block of your $USERDATA/user.cfg and it will honor the color you set. The default is:

DOUG_BG_COLOR          "020206"

To make it completely black, you would use "000000".
