Description:
Euphy's Main Menu gives you 5 ultra high quality backgrounds all featuring the heroic Jartoo, 3 different tracks by Vindsvept,
and optionally, lets you use Brumbek's Spinning Logo in any speed with any background.
In addition, I've actually changed the Bethesda logo into the mantra I chant daily while I am possessed by Mod Greed!
The three tracks by Vindsvept are:
- Flying High - reminds me of Oblivion in parts
- New Hope - contains some sort of flute but also glorious skyrim friendly chants/shouts
- Chasing Shadows - chilling, mellow, and entirely sublime
Technical:
All backgrounds are 2560x1440 in the highest quality.
ENB plays a role in how these backgrounds look ingame.
Look below to the custom background section to tweak brightness and colour balance to your taste and ENB.
All 3 Tracks were saved in 192k bitrate.
- Vindsvept - New Hope was edited to bring the fantastic brass section in much quicker.
- Vindsvept - Chasing Shadows was edited to be faster and louder.
The Bethesda logo was a real process to change. It retains the same quality by using an svg. I easily could have replaced it with an image but the loss of quality was too noticeable. It ended up taking me 8 hours and the process went something like this:
JPEXS Flash Decompiler -> Adobe Illustrator -> Adobe Flash Professional CS6 -> JPEXS Flash Decompiler
The trick was to extract the modified 78.svg using JPEXS that I had saved into a now broken startmenu.swf with Adobe F CS6 and then importing it into an unmodified startmenu.swf with JPEXS.
Custom Background:
Want to use your own background or resolutions other than 16:9?
I use Paint.NET but I bet other software that can edit .dds will work.
In Paint.NET you'll be using:
Brightness / Contrast and Colour Balance under Adjustments
Resize under Image
//FIRST - ALL RESOLUTIONS//
The way Skyrim renders alters the brightness and colour a bit (at least in the main menu). Images look greener and brighter.
In the image you are using:
- Lower the brightness (-10 in Paint.NET)
- Adjust the colour balance towards magenta/purple (-10 towards magenta in Paint.NET)
Now images should look more accurate in-game.
//2560x1440//
-Step 1 - Line the image up over mine
-Step 2 - Save as .dds with the settings below. Done!
//1920x1080//
-Step 1 - Resize mainmenuwallpaper.dds to 2291x2298
-Step 2 - Line the image up over mine
-Step 3 - Save as .dds with the settings below. Done!
//other resolutions//
-Step 1 - Divide 2560 by your resolutions width (result = X) and 1440 by your resolutions height (result = Y)
-Step 2 - Divide 3055 with X and 3065 with Y
-Step 3 - You now have mainmenuwallpaper's new width and height, resize the image with those values
-Step 4 - Line the image up over mine
-Step 5 - Save as .dds with the settings below. Done!
(don't actually need to generate mip maps)
Recommendations:
No Menu and Loading Smoke - For a cleaner main menu, not necessary though.
CAT Hohenzollern font - Likely going to end up using this.
Font Overhaul - Font used in screenshots.

Brumbek for graciously providing me his essential Main Menu Spinning Skyrim Emblem.
Vindsvept for his/her awe inspiring music. There are many more wonderful tracks like these at Vindsvept's Youtube channel!
