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.

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

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. ;)
