Not sure about the text, but the background looks cool enough.

What map is that?

Thanks

The text is just something im messing around with also lol.

the map in the background is Bonebreak. I made about a month ago.
looking to make an official release but its just a matter of getting there. Been playing it on the FORK and NOOB Playground servers for a little while now.

You know that you can remove the score and num of paintballs, etc by typing cl_drawhud 0 in the console? Just letting you know in case you didn't want those on the screenshot

Upload your map to http://maps.digitalpaint.therisenrealm.com/

I like the background, but like lekky said, the text doesn't work too well.

im prob going to make a white border around the outside of the text to make it pop more. Ill work on the text coloring a bit more later.
then again i might keep it because its ugly

thanks for the hud tip lekky

maps uploaded.

Blend in the top left corner, even if you have to fake it.

Text is a lot better, and what XtremeBain said should help.

Came across an anarchy image i liked so im scrapping the old background and starting on a new one.
Im still editing the other stock images to match the Anarchy Background. Still shading the boarders of the main menu and he in game menu is going to get a boarder to match the main menu.

Is there a guide on what images do what in the menus?

here are 2 screenshots of the current.

The images them selves do nothing. Buttons can be made from images, however. There is no reference on what does what though. If you want I could put my menus on this theme or vise versa.
