I see. Interesting idea--3.3.4 I guess. 

To tell you the truth, I almost never change my terrain background. It's like my telescope's focal length, or which camera I'm using. Set it once and it stays. I guess that's because I view the main benefit of the feature in showing one's own custom background, as opposed to those Mars ones. (Of course, I did change it all the time when I was developing the feature.) However, if I moved my telescope around to the same standard locations, or if I had multiple telescopes, then being able to change that would make a lot of sense--where someone used those spots enough to go through the bother of making custom panoramas for them. Do you think that applies to many folks?

Also, FYI, the ability to turn the feature on/off is in the View menu. There's a "Show Terrain / Stop Showing Terrain" View menu item that I actually bound to a keyboard shortcut (control-shift-T).

Have you made your own custom background? Definitely a game-changer for me.
