Here's the issue.
I want my joints to retain the geometric/tessellated look, but my eyes are burning like looking into the sun at the white background.

When I turn on shaders, it smooths out the joints which I HATE.

Is there a way to change the background color...even a flat color other than white and keep my geometric joints?

This isn't the right section for this. Try the support forum or use IRC and ask for help in #support

Got it. I'll move it. I was just thinking this forum was full of experts that maybe had a relevant script or something already developed.

Not using shaders, There was a script for 'fake shaders' that allowed you to change the background without vertex shading the joints. Problem is it's an old script & may not work on newer versions.

Actually I was just digging into that. It doesn't seem to work on TB 4.0+ I still have 3.99 and might try that.

Or you can use /atmo ingame and choose a cool one that would help you.
What I wanted is the opposite of what you want anyway, I don't use shaders (because my pc sucks) and I would like to have the smooth joints.

........DUDE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Sending you 1,000TC for being such a badass with the answer!

try just turning down your brightness or being in a well lit room.
