In the "old" VHE, you could change the background color of the 3dview. This was mainly a helpful way of seeing this better.

But now, the VHE for hl2(&mods) seems to not have this function! Does anybody know if the option is available, (and where)

There's a checkbox in the 2D views tab to change from White on Black to Black on White in terms of color schemes, but that was about as much as I could find.

Sadly its one of those little features that didn't get put in the new
hammer. I guess the new version was based on on older version of
hammer, and so didn't inherit some of the features that appeared in the
last HL1 hammer release.

if the new hammer uses the same coding as the old, then i believe i recall somewhere out there that there was a value that you could change with a text editor to change background colors, but i dont know the file or what to change
the only problem with steam updating things every week is it doesent give the developers an incentive to playtest thier work, so we do it for them

There seems to be a 'Custom2DColors' key for Hammer in the registry (mine has no values in it); have a play round with it if you're feeling registry-confident.
