Backgroundset (or short BGS) is a framework for images, sounds and music. It ships more than 100 sounds, images for all standard GUI screens and enhances the overall look and feel of the game. The AddOn is expandable, highly configurable and compatible to [[Random_Docking_Music_OXP|Random Docking Music]], [[Delightful_Docking|Delightful Docking]] or [[Hyperradio_js_OXP|Hyperradio]]. Patches for [[Captain_Berf_Pilot|Captain Berf Pilot]], [[CustomSounds_OXP|CustomSounds]], [[Halsis]] and [[Hawksound]] are also available.

Due to the way the Linux Ext3/Ext4 filesystems operate, it sometimes happens that the Halsis_BGS1.2 patch will not function as intended.
