When I click on the squad menu everything disappears and I have to Alt tab out of my game, please fix but other than that great mod.
Edit: Turns out there are a lot more bugs, the mission icons aren't there any more, the mods menu disappears, and trying to set a custom background for squad menu crashes my game, I am using the dynamic version.
Lovely mod, I don't see myself going back Night menu any time soon!
May I suggest/request adding the BG's of 'Tiny Troubles' & 'Give No Quarter'? Perhaps even the BG from 'Operations Subjugator'? Idk how well it will fit the theme..
Thank you for your precise instructions. Sadly, my pic doesn't show correctly, I have a grey background. Here's the pic I try to add : https://wall.alphacoders.com/big.php?i=118591
I'll search for a potential mod conflict. Anyway, I'm glad that you made such a mod. Thanks again !
EDIT : I searched for conflict and removed all files that could change the background (IOV, Ares, Special Forces) but the background is still grey. I also changed the resolution in the lines required to be edited in the menus.xml. JPEG and PNG extensions tried too.

2 methods to change things up:
1 - The easy way:
a) Rename the current file to "menubg2.mp4_backup"
b) Rename the new file to "menubg2.mp4" and place it in the "custommovies" folder.
2 - The tricky way:
a) Drop it into the custommovies folder
b) Go to the gui folder and open menus.xml
c) search for menubg2.mp4 and rename to menubg3.mp4
But it's probably just easier to do the first method.
Can the mod work for static pictures only ?
Thanks !
I've found it accepts PNGs and JPEGs, I haven't tried others yet.
EDIT:
Ignore below! Use this instead:

Instructions:
- Open menus.xml inside the gui folder
- Search for "mp4" and replace the current file name with your own
For example:
<Movie align="a" hidden="false" file="data/custommovies/menubgstaticblurred.mp4" sizeX="2715"
Would become:
<Movie align="a" hidden="false" file="data/custommovies/mypicture.jpeg" sizeX="2715"Here's the pic I try to add : https://wall.alphacoders.com/big.php?i=118591

I've uploaded a new version and used your image as the template.

Drop the light version into your mod folder and it should work right away!
Anyway, thanks again !
It was just a matter of changing the path of the original dds and pointing it to a custom one.
For the video one I tweaked the xml to be video specific and assumed it would be fine for photos, but I was wrong!
