* backdropColor (global, color table name) - global RGB color constant. default none. Used to set backdrop background vertex color values, set on load by BackdropTemplate SetBackdropColor(r, g, b, a) which uses SetVertexColor(r, g, b, a or 1) on the background texture, if any. If no background texture is defined, then has no effect.
