DESCRIPTION:
This is a mod of a mod, and just a bit improved.
I was looking around for random files (oh my), and then I found this. Great picture to be left the way
it have been...I couldn't deny the calling to make it a little better. =P
I've made a few changes that I've thought necessary to make this startup screen more acceptable.
It was nice, no doubt, but had a few glitches that I've fixed. Here's the list of the changes:
1 - The lightsaber is completely remaded, with proper illumination around it.
2 - The image was without contrast, and if you took a closer look at, you could see a contour around
Darth Vader (probably from the original image background). I've fixed this.
3 - Nice title font, but in this case, I found it a little inadequate. I exchanged it for the original title.
4 - Changed the blank background behind Vader to a starry one.
5 - I've changed all the startup sounds. When you click to exit or play, instead of large quotes,
now have short but effective lightsaber sounds. When the startup opens the known Darth Vader breath
is heard (thanks to Battlefront startup).
After all, it's just some final art in a good concept ^^

CREDITS:
-General
The credit goes to TwEEk, creator of the original version. Thanks for ShakaL for his/her improvements.
-Images
The stars and the title are from the original startup. The lightsaber (laser part) was done in Adobe
Photoshop, and the hilt was taken from Kensai Saber Hilts (thanks). Retouching and lightning effects done
in Adobe Photoshop either. In truth, all things were done in PS.
-Sounds
The Darth Vader breath is from the game Star Wars Battlefront startup. The lightsaber sounds were taken
from this link (it's open for download and use, if you may ask):

Thanks to Google =P
