(New Version Available) Widescreen Loading Background
A newer, improved version can be found here.
This mod gets rid of the old, and brings in the new! New loading screen, that is. Now you can have a pretty and colorful background to look at as your game loads! It's appealing to the eye and comes in two colors.
You can choose from...
The pretty, colorful background.
Or...
The blue background, made to match the loading box.
Not sure which theme to choose? I recommend the blue one! It looks great, and matches the loading box.
Be sure to see the images in their full size!
If your screen resolution is set to 800x600 or lower than you won't see this mod's effect. Make sure your resolution is at least 1024x768!
I haven't tested resolutions above 1600x900, but the background should still look great.
