I know this might sound ridiculously lazy but....Is there a way I can set a type of shader as a default shader? To make it easier to understand every time I open toribash I don't want to have to go into utils and change it to the shader I want. Thanks.

Not entirely sure and am frankly too lazy to try it myself, but you could try editing default.inc

Add shader loading command to that
