Custom Background Color

by SirBroMate

Custom Background Color lets a player change the gradient colors and transparency of the menu background screen, with options set through a settings screen.

What it does

The gradient behind menu screens can be recolored, and its transparency adjusted, through the config options. Changing the colors and transparency is handled by the mod's configuration screen. Background blur is not part of this mod; the author points to the separate Blur mod for that effect, and notes that Custom Background Color does not work alongside Blur.

Key features

  1. Gradient colors

    The two colors of the background gradient can be changed to any shade chosen in the settings.

  2. Transparency control

    The transparency of the background gradient can be set separately from its colors.

  3. Settings screen

    Options are reached through a settings screen, and the author recommends installing a mod menu to open it.

Questions

Does Custom Background Color work with the Blur mod?

No. The author states that Custom Background Color does not work with Blur, so the two should not be used together.

Is Custom Background Color needed on servers?

No. Servers do not need it; each player installs it for their own game.

What the author says

This mod allows to change background gradient transparency and colors in config and mod menu. If you want background blur use Blur mod instead! It can change gradient colors too.
