Crazy interface ini files. The new-game-screen portrait is actually shrunk to "128x258" ... (258 !??!?!? thats not even a proper reduction!!!). The character screen for the 256 portrait reduces that one to "252x252" ... what, they COULDNT fit that to size?

@Petros,

I like the idea of keeping the smaller shots 'clean' as in not just being cutdowns of the full body shots. Still some have had a 'sea' background put in...and in the better versions it looks ok compared to the stock empty blue backgrounds?

I'll have a play and post some pics at some point - then its easier to compare and contrast etc. Part of me thinks that atleast the 128 shots(passenger menu size) could be taken from the full body atmospheric background shots, without becoming difficult to recognise? the small 64 char icons would need to keep the clear default background - they are just too small to have fun with imho.

Still i'm rather quite enjoying playing PotC at the momment, so dont wait for this <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/wink.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=";)" border="0" alt="wink.gif" /> - i have the maltese abbey thing to investigate....finaly <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/smile.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":)" border="0" alt="smile.gif" />
 
Seems like we forgot all about this. Would be nice to have better pictures for the choose character menu. <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/whistling.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":wp" border="0" alt="whistling.gif" />
