Refreshed Main Menu - Dynamic [PUBLIC INFO]

An alternative version of my Refreshed Main Menu!

This version is based on a cool feature - the background reflects and changes depending on the time of day you play the game. If you play in the early morning, you'll be greeted by a rising sun; but if you play in the evening, you'll get deep purple shades of the coming night; and if you play at night, the whole sky will be covered with stars and you'll get the warm light of a nearby campfire. All in all, there are 5 different states based on the real time of day you're playing :)

AVAILABLE TO DOWNLOAD HERE

Worth knowing:

  • Changes depending on the time of day

  • Adapts to any screen resolution and aspect ratio;

  • Custom buttons and colors;

  • Custom scenario icon

  • Menu is slightly smaller than the original;

  • No ads, news, social media icons or forum links

Hi! I love this main menu. I was wondering if it was possible to add a version of this with the UI (resume game/load game/new game/etc.) over on the right side like it is in the base game and in many of your other refreshed main menu mods. I ended up not using this as much as I loved the dynamic environment because of the UI being centered. Thank you so much for all your hard work!

Hey! Thanks. The main branch of Refreshed Main Menu has these backgrounds with the UI on the right side, but it doesn't have the time-based dynamic feature. I do not plan to make another version for now. :)

I was wondering if that means it’s compatible with dark ui?

If the Dark UI mod that you use allows you to exclude main menu from it, then yes, it's compatible. :)

This is amazing! Is this compatible with any UI replacement as well? Thanks

Thanks! :) It's compatible with any UI replacement that doesn't edit the main menu or that comes in a modular version where you can remove the main menu files.
