I don't know if this has been mentioned before cuz I haven't visited =
the wishlist NG in a while, but I was just thinking about how long it's =
been since the AWPrime background has shifted to the darkened skies, and =
wondered if it might be possible to add a page to the settings box which =
allowed people to choose between:
a.. Always Day
b.. Always Night
c.. Alternating (based on VRT maybe?)
The change could be client side, if they had both backgrounds, couldn't =
it?

It seems like this could add to the atmosphere, and wouldn't be a =
terribly difficult addition (although it might require having a standard =
for background names?)

I agree that the BACKDROPS to use should be world-server set, however I
think it should be up to the user to decide between:
o 24-hr day
o 24-hr night
o switching based on time zone, suboptions include:
- VRT
- local time
- GMT-x where X is specified via a box-arrow control (like the
visibility/fps settings)

This would also be easier on the server, wouldn't it? The client could do
the switching, since the time is kept on the user's system, and wouldn't
have to be based on a server time, so anything added shouldn't affect the
connection's performance. In this case, it might be a good idea to make as
many options available as possible.

Yes, the original message chain is titled...
Star light, star bright... I wish we may have night every night :)
