- Click the Background tab.
- To set the background color, click the Mode drop-down arrow and click Transitional color.
- Click Single color if you prefer not to have a transitional blend of two colors.

You can set other display options on the dialog box:
- To enable the fog effect, check Fog under the Environment Settings section.
- To change the fog density, click Advanced and use the slider to make it thicker or thinner.
- To enable the halo effect, check Atmospheric Halo under the Environment Settings section.
- To enable the stars effect, check Stars under the Environment Settings section.
- To set the default background options for future ArcGlobe documents, check the option Use as default in all new documents.

Tip:
- The fog effect is observable when the navigate tool is in surface mode and the observer is looking at an oblique angle to the horizon.
- The background color is also used for the fog effect in ArcGlobe.
