This mod is obsolete!
A newer, improved version can be found here.
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.
Please see the Install Instructions! This mod does not go into your Downloads folder!
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!
CONFLICTS
Please only choose ONE colored background. Either the normal or blue one. Also, this mod will conflict with any other mods that change the loading background. In other words, choose just [B]ONE background.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.
