Ok, back
Sorry like I say, abbreviations and me don't go together, when you say BG does that mean background ?
If you mean the background behind the players, that is not coloring, that is a texture, shade.pcx
I'll look into adjusting the shade with a slider or something, could be interesting
The crosshair in the SB, yes that would be nice, but I don't think it can be done, simply because a scoreboard is not like a hud, it's a menu, same as if you press escape, you get the big fulscreen UT menu up, the SB is exactly the same thing but transparent.
Don't know, maybe The_Cowboy has experimented here and has some idea's ?
Oh! btw if you want to direct and release this beta on this link, go for it:

It covers most things... I hope.
