I'm pretty sure the change is from the widescreen mod, I remember it from when I started using it and it was one of the things I tinkered with when I was tweaking the mod a bit to meet my own preferences.
I think there was something in one of the big config files (maybe for the menu?) that I had to change to get the smoky background back. Possibly the six digit code that controls the background color used for that part of the screen. I know I had to do a lot of checking back and forth from that mod's files to what I had been using previously, to see what had been changed and figure it out.
I wish I could be more specific but it's been ages since I tinkered with it, and I don't have access to the files at all at the moment... someone else here may know which file I'm talking about and provide the name of it, it's like... menu1024.cfg or something? It's the file that tells the game where every element on the screen goes and what color to make them and fonts for text and stuff like that I think.
