There are four configuration options.

Default

The default background is a dark, checkered pattern. This is the default background, and there are no configuration options for it.

Cubemap

Image backgrounds use cubemaps. A cubemap is a set of six images that map to each face of a cube. The app displays the images on the inside of the cube, and centers the cube on the camera.

Place images for use in the ~/.midis2jam2/backgrounds directory. Open this folder by clicking the link in the settings.

Note

Images for use in a cubemap must be square, all have the same resolution and format, and all must either be RGB or RGBA.

To refresh the list of images in the dropdown, press the Refresh images button.

The list of acceptable image formats is as follows:

  • JPEG
  • PNG
  • BMP
  • GIF

Unique cubemap

A background that displays a different image on each face of the cube.
