I always found the MCM menu image for XPMSSE to feel out of place when compared to the aesthetic of Skyrim. This mod alters the MCM menu to replace the image with a new custom, higher quality one.

Version 1.0.0
Initial Upload
Overview
XPMSSE's mod configuration menu (MCM) has a custom image that, in my opinion, doesn't fit well into the aesthetic of Skyrim. It also generally appears pixelated and low quality. This mod replaces the image with a custom, higher quality one. This mod contains no plugin, because it simply overwrites some files included with XPMSSE.
Requirements
XP32 Maximum Skeleton Special Extended - XPMSSE
SkyUI
Installation
Download the file and install with a mod manager (Mod Organizer 2 or Vortex). Select the option you want in the FOMOD installer. Allow these files to overwrite XPMSSE. To uninstall, simply remove with your desired mod manager. Since this mod changes scripts, it is a good idea to only use it with a new save.
Options
There are five custom images to choose from, as well as an image randomizer option. Three images are "title screens" created using Elder Scrolls Online images of the Breton, High Elf, and Nord heroes; one is a similar graphic made from an image of all three ESO heroes together; and the last is a text only graphic. The image randomizer option allows the MCM to randomly select one of the three "title screen" images of the ESO heroes to display each time the menu is opened.

In the original mod MCM menu script, the image is offset so that it is centred in the menu. To replace the image with a larger one and have it positioned correctly, the script has to be altered slightly. Permissions for the XPMSSE scripts were opened on January 5, 2021, with the mod page permissions stating the following:
Script files: Do what you want with them.
As such, I edited the original source script (XPMSEMCM.psc) and recompiled it with the Creation Kit. Click below to see the lines changed in the code:
Original Code:
Spoiler:

; Load custom logo in DDS format if (a_page == "") ; Image size 256x256 ; X offset = 376 - (height / 2) = 258 ; Y offset = 223 - (width / 2) = 95 LoadCustomContent("xpmse/res/mcm_logo.dds", 258, 95) return else UnloadCustomContent() endIf
Modified Code for Single Image Replacement Options:
Spoiler:
Show
; Load custom logo in DDS format if (a_page == "")
No other changes were made to the existing code, so everything should function normally. Just the image positioning will be changed.
Compatibility
This mod should be compatible with any other mod, unless it also changes the same files or script in XPMSSE. Fully compatible with XPMSSE - Fixed Scripts by foreverphoenix (that mod changes different scripts).
