Trackmania Menu Bg Chooser

This let's you choose the main menu background. You can choose from:

• A custom time of day (morning, day, evening, or night).
• A custom png, jpg, or webm file (via URL).
• TMX monthly backgrounds (the current month, a random month, or your choice).

To return to normal, select "Disabled" in settings.

If you want more control over menu reflections, search for Menu Background Reflections in the plugin manager.
