border = <preset> border {{=}} <size>, <offset>, "<tr>", "<t>", "<tl>", "<r>", "<l>", "<br>", "<b>", "<bl>"	Sets the border graphics used in various places throughout the game. Most notably is the border around the game window when a small screen size is used. Valid presets are
backpacktype = "<actor>"	Sets the backpack given when cheating.
borderflat = "<lump>"	Default lump used for screen border.

intermissionmusic = "<lump>"	Sets the default music played during the intermission.
noloopfinalemusic = <bool>	Changes if the finale music should be looped.
pagetime = <time>	Amount of time to display the credit page between demos.

dimcolor = "<color>"	The color to which the screen is dimmed when in menu mode. This is overridden by the dimcolor console variable if dimamount is a positive or null value.
dimamount = <value>	Controls how much the game screen is "dimmed" to the dim color when in menu mode. A value of 0 doesn't change the screen at all, while a value of 1 obscures it entirely behind the dim color. This is overridden by the dimamount console variable if the latter is a positive or null value.

pickupcolor = "<color>"	Changes the color of the screen tint caused by picking up items. (This effect was historically handled by a palette swap in Doom, but ZDoom has not supported that method for a long time, so this property can be used as a replacement.) (development version r2539+ only)

menufontcolor_header = "<color>"	Color used for section headers in menu pages. (development version r2768+ only)
menufontcolor_highlight = "<color>"	Color used for highlighted items in menu pages. (development version r2768+ only)

swapmenu = <bool>	The normal main menu order is "new game, options, load game, save game". If swapmenu is true, this becomes "new game, load game, save game, options". This property defaults to false. (development version r2854+ only)
