In theory I think it should work, but I've never tried it.  Basically, you put the New Game, Continue, and Quit in text over farther on your title screen graphic to the right than normal, then you get rid of the background part of the window in your System graphic, and then you can get rid of all the colors for the text so its transparent as well, but then all you are really left with is the cursor, with should indicate the menu options.  You'll have to mess around with the system graphic to get the right cursor look you want, but that should do it.

It doesn't seem to work. You get a long cursor that crosses the whole screen.

Hm...  Like I said, I never tried it, but if you mess with the cursor a bit you might be able to make it smaller.  (get rid of most of the graphic and then have a little on the right side?)

You might be able to get something, but I don't think its going to be perfectly what you want.

if I remember right, there is a patch out there somewhere that will let you bypass the title screen...In which case a guy could build a custom one

I've tried it.  It's quite buggy and crashes.  Or at least the version I found.

You could also just crop the pic with some black bars on the top and bottom of the screen to move the action-y parts to some place where they won't be obscured.

I'm not quite sure what you mean Val. You mean like putting a black frame around it?

Is it even possible to get the menu to appear clear so that it will show the background behind it?

I just tried what I suggested but it didn't help much. Never mind.

I managed to find a program that allows you to change where the actual box appears, but unless I can get it to be transparent, it will look off.

It's kinda tempting to claim to need something just so Val will draw me a cool picture.

So am I.

Actually you probally just decrease or in this case increase the color to 256 without really hurting the picture if thats needed.

Although it is a really good drawing I like it : )

Yea, I'd rather not alter it at all, if possible. I'm looking into possibly creating a custom title screen, but the problem is I'm not sure how to load a saved game from a map setting. If I can't, I'll have to settle with the box covering a bit of the characters :(

Wow, Valiere. Very skillful.

It's also really nice of you to produce such quality work for a stranger at a mere request. I thank you, myself.
