[QUOTE="Vergo, post: 371009, member: 14698"] [B]A. INTRO ======[/B] First of all, I absolutely love this skin. I switched over from the Aeon Wide skin and never came back.

So basically, I recreated a menu background and adjusted the basichome xml file to combine the two. Mind you, the screenshots are 1024x768 but this was created for 1280x720 (like all of StreamedMP) and looks perfect widescreen.
