Thanks, ray, I knew there was a cvar or something of that sort.

EDIT: is there a /set rLoRezBK ? :P

Yes, thanks Ray! :-)

so summat like this
/alias osxfix "set rHiRezBK *; wait 60 'set rHiRezBK **'"
/bind "key" osxfix
* random bg setting
** your original setting

or, just do:

bind F10 set rHiRezBK 5
bind F11 set rHiRezBK 0

in your wgaf.cfg file....no?

If you want to do an alias, it doesn't take 60 to change...you could do 10 or 15.

60 because it has to wait for the textures to load, I thought. mebbe I'm wrong. I'll post it in the Aliases thread

Well, don't do mine above...I can't get it to accept.

RelayeR, yours would be this:

/alias osxsetting1 set rHiRezBK 5
/alias osxsetting2 set rHiRezBK 0
/bind F10 osxsetting1
/bind F11 osxsetting2

you shouldn't need to wait at all.
/set rHiRezBK 1 ; set rHiRezBK 5

and that should change it from current to low and then to extremely high.
I haven't tested this tho.

Yes, I sort of have it the way rogue put it and it works great.

F10 for no skybox (the better to catch "?" when he spaces).
F11 for "Extremely high" (for my pics and general niceness)!

A quick flick back and forth to get rid of the artifacts!

Thanks all!
