What kind of options? Like what?
You can add any wallpaper you like. Just rename it to
menubg.tga and place it into your Descent2 folder. Thats it.

RED,
menubg.tga is the default name, but you can specify a menu bg filename in d2x.ini, together with some more nifty options, like alpha, brightness, and grayscale.
So you can tune the background image appearance to optimum menu visuals.

Yeah I seen that. I was just giving him a simple answer.
I also wanted to know what his ideas might be? Could be
far different from what you or I might be thinking!

Given his mastery of the English language, that probably was a wise idea ...

Make sure the following is in the d2x.ini file.
-altbg_name menubg.tga
Now make sure the
menubg.tga file is in the
Descent2 folder.
It should work. Mine does.
