Home Screen Panel and GUI textures

One of my pet peeves with the game is the outdated look of the Home screen selection panel. I think it only looks outdated because of the dull dark grey tiled texture which is neutral enough, but pretty bland... I put a number of textures to your disposal here, (all CC0), and if you like any of them, please consider using them to jazz up the home screen, or any other element of the GUI. I don't know exactly what the changes are to the GUI for Alpha 23, but I suspect one of these textures would go well with all the other exciting new updates to get an all round new-ish look. 

What it looks like now:

What it could look like:

Spoiler

Of course you might want to play around with contrast/colour/transparency settings etc (I did), to get the ideal look. Some of these textures would look supercool with a bit of translucency, so you'd see the background painting moving behind it.

I think using anything recognizable will make it look old. The trend is now Material so we could go for something like that with our own colors. But I believe this will break the immersion as our game isnt supposed to be a web game.

The rule "material is the trend" is the rule only for copy-paste games. A game can have own designed solution. So I suggest to not exactly follow trends, but to design good view.

Agreed. Plus looking at history it will have long changed when we release beta X)

Some examples. I saved this because I believe the GUI will be changed... the icons, textures, font, style, all careful selected. no by random.

Help button, quit-close button. I don't  like the icons...

The contrast between blue and papyre/stone. the only thing I don't like is that white  font vs that blue.

 

Check this buttons and style, isn't bad.
