/skinner backdrop bddefault
- Specify the texture that you want to use, either via the Option Panel or using the slash command:
/skinner backdrop bdfile <filename>
- <filename> uses the format:

without a file extension. The texture file must be in either TGA or BLP format.
- <filename> uses the format:
- Change the Default Backdrop colour to have a value higher than 0, otherwise the Texture won't be visible, either via the Option Panel or using the slash command:
/skinner colours backdrop
to use the Color Picker.

Note: Other Backdrop values can be changed if required, please refer here for these options.
