About this mod
New HD animated menu video for Darnified UIs (1920x1080). Replaces the original start menu video with an animated background loop.
It comes with reworked Oblivion logos (3 versions). I also added an optional Morroblivion logo for Diana's STEP fallowers.

Release v1.1
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Description:
This mod changes old menu loop for new animated menu videos. It also includes new reworked Tiltle logos to fit better with new videos.
New map loop videos have been done with HD sources and sized to fullHD (1920x1080). Loop has been designed not to be visible and gives a perpetual feeling.
This is a modified version of NorthernUI Animated Menus to work with and respect mood of Darnified UI and its modded versions. Original Darnified Start menu Fonts were too dark to look good with that menu : i changed color to middle grey. OA Dark users won't have this problem as fonts are yellow.
I could add different colors on suggestions or request.
V1.0:
Unlike NorthernUI Animated Menus mod, Darnified menu doesn't allow for an overlay to be loaded...Nevermind : overlays have been incrusted in menu videos.
Drawback of such method is that it makes the mod pretty big in size. This is why i had to split mod in two parts : main part with naked menus videos and an optional pack with videos + incrusted overlays.
- Added options for OA DarkUI, based on Darnified UI (Menu Color yellow).
- Also included the usual Morroblivion stuff (Title logo) for both Darnified and OA DarkUI.
- You'll have to choose between 3 videos and 3 logos to compose your menu.
- Vanilla logo reworked and tweaked to enhanced UI (3 versions : Vanilla, Darnified, Vanilla + Darnified)
Alternatively, you can use OA Dark option for Darnified mod i you wish. It is compatible and will ONLY change Menu font color.
Music is from Adrian von Ziegler . Relaxing Nordic/Viking Music - Ótroðinn (Now included in download section).
Added (v1.1) : new main_menu.xml that adds offset to recenter Title + Menu buttons in left space between Character and screen right border.
UPDATE : DXT5 overlay textures + mip maps to fix possible purple glow around logo. Grab patch in Miscelleanous section.
