To allow users to customize the background most easily, perhaps each button's coordinates (position and size) should be human-readable in the prefs file. And the button graphics would float above the background screen at those coordinates. Then anyone who wants their own background can move the buttons as they see fit for their screen.

^ Which would enable mods to have their own custom intro screens in DarkXL.

As I mentioned before, all the UI screens will be scripted in the future, including the titlescreen. Users could modify the button placements, sizes, graphics, etc. by overriding the script. This will allow for custom animations, sounds, music or whatever too.
But the scripting support won't be ready for the coming release, but in a future release.

Thanks for the votes everyone.
Without changing too much, I made some overtime tweaks over the weekend, to address quality issues with layer blending, lens flares, and the planet. And goodness gracious me, the Arc Hammer really shouldn't have been sticking out of Madine's head like that. In the process I found room for something that was in my original collage but missing from the most recent draft. Let's just say he's more popular than Madine.
I submitted my files to lucius and I'm waiting for the next build with everyone else.
