== Overview ==
 
== Overview ==
Backgroundset (or short BGS) is a framework for images, sounds and music. It ships more than 100 sounds, images for all standard GUI-Screens, 117 maps for the LongRangeChart 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. Since v1.8 it can be used with [[Better_Screens|Better Screens]] by disabling screenbackgrounds.plist in BGS.

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