The original main menu
The original interface art goes in, starting with the main menu.
The original main menu
The main menu now uses the original game’s art.
What went in
- The interface screens and their buttons, each with normal, highlighted and pressed states.
- HUD pieces, inventory icons, the loading screen art and the original fonts.
Keeping it in proportion
The original screens were drawn at 640x480. On a modern widescreen display the artwork is letterboxed, and anything positioned against the edge of the window drifts off it. Buttons are anchored to the artwork instead, and text now scales with the artwork rather than the window, so labels stay the right size whatever the resolution.
