[Main Menu] Customizing

[Gush]

Am trying to customize our mod's main menu interface and have accomplished adding a new background and changing the title fonts, but I haven't succeded changing the fonts for mouse-over selection menu.

Also want to add playable music for the main menu, is that possible? How about an animated logo?

Anybody?

Here's a pic to give a better idea of what am trying to do.........

Could you post how you did it please? This way this thread could be usefull for others who don't know how to do it.

For the music and animated logo I suggest you to use the "map" approach. Like in HL2. But you might know that already.

Map approach is cool but it's also a resource hog......

For music I hard coded it in, heh. I also used a BG image but I created a new panel for my logo because I wanted it to be high quality-looking and the BG image didn't do it for me (gets more blurry as the resolution increases).

So you can see what I did:

Could you point me in the right direction for hard coding music into the main menu? Thanks.
