Previously we're changed background inside Battle.Net interface, but now we will change around. Now you can change blue planet with Battlecruiser to any planet, that you want. Someone bored with Battlecruiser, someone have lower FPS during Battlecruiser comes to screen. And we was able to see randomly generated differend planets after matches, if we finished campaign.

I've decided to fix that small moment and allow you to look at any planet, including Dropship background from early SC2 builds. Here are 7 variants, four of them you already know:

Installing
Installing is simply, if you already replaced some files. But I'll remember.
1) Open with any MPQ-editor StarCraft II/Mods/Liberty.SC2Mod/enGB.SC2Assets (if you have other localization, then open koKR.sc2assets, enUS.sc2assets, etc)
2) Open inside folder Assets and stay it with opened window.
3) Open in Windows Explorer folder with prefered background. For example Dropship BG.
4) Inside select folder UI and drag it with mouse to opened MPQ-editor window inside Assets folder. Close MPQ-Editor!!
5) Thats all! Launch game and you got new background.

More information about this small addon, with DL links (russian language, so install instructions translated here above)
http://www.pr3d.ru/existor/27-changing-background-in-sc2

Note
Before installing variant, called Dropship & Planets, delete old UI folder from Assets

Officialy not, but I and Teliko never met players, who had been banned for small tweaks, like this. I'll say more - there was been many streams with Stronger team color mod and they still haven't been banned.

Have they got any advatange in game? No. So no more questions. Blizzard will react to players, who abusing it and getting ingame advatange. If game is fair, then everything is okay.

A lot of people have Stronger team color mod, and Dastin Browder said, that they like this mod. A lot of players had installed this mod and they're still playing via streams or other events.

Arguments?

I guess some people just don't want to take any risk at all.

I agree with you though, and I also use custom backgrounds and stuff : )

Never even occurred to me that there's alternative login screens -_-" Nice release.

To the people who will undoubtedly continue to ask, using this will NOT get you banned. We've been making stuff like this for over a year now without a whisper from Blizzard. They're barely interested in banning maphackers, stuff like this that does nothing more than provide aesthetically appeasing modifications are the least of their worries. Here's a screenshot from my mediafire account which has only ever been used for hosting mods like this that others have downloaded.

There isn't a known case of someone being banned for using this, so yeah it's safe.
That's the 2nd time in a week I've seen someone sig a quote from this GD and I have never witnessed a sig quote happen in my TL history ever before. -Najda

I haven't impregnated a chick yet from ejaculating inside of her, so it's safe to do so!

Your analogy is bad. It's against the ToS so there is always a risk of getting banned.
