NO, nor there should be. We don’t need a million little options clutter the menu for every little aspect of the game.

Some must fight so that all may be free.

I wouldn’t go so far as to ask to change backgrounds, though I wouldn’t be against it, but golly do they need to ease up on whatever is casting those shadows. All my characters look weird and dusty in it. :x

I had similar requests for the CSS (can’t find the thread):

  • Anet should consider the option to add a toggle for the CSS so that everyone can choose which CSS theme they would like to use.
  • If not, then at least make the lighting in the PoF CSS equally neutral to the one in the current HoT CSS, so that the coloring will display correctly.
  • Also, please remove the two front layers in the PoF CSS that are covering the characters’ feet.

Fixed that for you.
I’d love the option to choose between backgrounds.
I’d also love the option to choose which opening music we hear on the selection screen.

Can’t do anything as far as the background image goes, but you can change the music that plays. You can make a playlist (like in iTunes or something) and export it into the GW2 music folder with the appropriate name per playlist. Whether you use something completely different or locate older GW2 music you preferred.

Instructions are here.For the log in screen, it would be the MainMenu name.

Thanks Maethor! I didn’t know that was possible.

It would be nice if we get bigger or more icons for the hair, face etc selection. Half of the screen is blank

I suggested in the thread I just posted, that it would be nice to get the option to choose what character select background you want to see upon startup. And for the fans (like me) of the login screen, that dates back before the game officially released, an option to choose between a launcher or the login screen from then would be awesome.

… I prefer the bright, white background we currently have because it allows me to see the detail of my chars designs and dyes clearly. The PoF background during the demo cast too much shadow muddying all the detail.

You prefer the bright, I would ever prefer the dark one. I have a human character with dark skin and most of the armor is also dark. With the bright backround I cant see the details, ’cause it shines too bright. I was happy, as I saw the new one.
see screenshots for comparison

PRO / I am definitely for an option, checkbox or a path to my favorite (selfmade?) background!

Excelsior.

In that weird light setting, my right eye looks really strange. This is simply because it might catch a certain beam of (virtual) light, and this also happens ingame, but then, I just turn. Here, both my test Asura had a strange-looking right eye.

Will the char selection screen background be changeable with the new expansion? I prefer the bright, white background we currently have because it allows me to see the detail of my chars designs and dyes clearly. The PoF background during the demo cast too much shadow muddying all the detail.

Do you think there might be an option to change the background?

Agreed, I would also like the option of keeping the current character select screen, I prefer it to the PoF screen, which I find depressing.
