I was just wondering, has anybody ever found the file for the background image of the launcher (and/or does one exist or is it hard-coded into the game)? The gray-on-gray of the GOTY version is really ugly and I'd love to give it a facelift.

I'm reasonably sure it's hardcoded into the exe.

It is, but it can be ripped and replaced with http://www.resedit.net/.

This is most welcome news.

I was just gonna recommend a resource editor. Ninja'd.

But nevertheless I will post it.

It appears those are bmps. I wonder if alpha is working. Not a big problem though.
Localization would be a nice addition. I wonder if it can be patched to use external files instead. I don't think a patched exe is releasable.

I'd love to see a GotY skin for it based on the GotY boxart. Any way to change the buttons, not just the background, vtastek?

It is all there. Buttons have 3 states, disabled, highlighted and normal. 20-25 bmp files. And I was wondering why the file is so big.
