Classic Blue UI

What this mod does?

It changes the menu windows border to original CD release style. It also changes loading screens, scenario menu and gameplay UI of each nation/god to fit the CD release. Since Chinese have been released only as part of EE, their UI isn't changed. The mod isn't perfect, (in the CD release not all frames were pylons) so if you wish to do fixes be my guest. Take into account however, that placing the frames takes a lot of time and a lot of nerve.

Options

To change layout of the main menu take uipregamenweOE.xml (for classic look)
or uipregamenewEE.xml (for extended look) from "gameroot"\mods\AGEclassicUI\OPTfiles,
rename it to uipregamenew.xml and place inside "gameroot"\mods\AGEclassicUI\data

I was unable to change the following:

- In some cases the window border parts don't fit perfectly into one another. This is most likely caused by the fact the textures themselves. (will look into it as soon as I have time)

- The square buttons color cannot be changed without changing the pictures to the original. (and the new ones make more sense IMO) I also could have made them smaller to fit the menu better, but I didn't want to make them too small.

- Main Manu button on Mod Options page cannot be changed to yellow. (It makes it unfunctional)

- Greyyed out buttons in options while playing a scenario cannot be changed to original look. (it keeps this look no matter what I try to edit/change)

- Some online options windows cannot be moddified it seems.

A complete overhaul

If you find out there is something wrong:

- e.g. some window border I did not edit, let me know in the comments and I'll try to change it.
I have searched through all the files but I could have missed something.
