Main Menu Fixes

Description
This mod aims to fix several long-standing issues with the main menu without overly altering the style. It's intended to replace the default main menu as an 'always on' mod, to sit under other mods in the priority list as the one to use when you're not using any other menu mods.

This mod fixes the following issues:
  • 'Steam Workshop' sign button not connected to anything, unlike the other signs
  • Strangely drawn and inconsistent icon highlight effects
  • Button text is misaligned with artwork
  • Highlighting on main banner does not extend to either edge (I have replaced this with the logo highlighting instead for neatness)
  • Main logo is stretched and squashed
  • DLC banners are misaligned
  • AoF DLC banner sits in front of the wooden beam element, which looks odd
  • Main background art is overly dark and washed-out
  • After the main theme plays, the 'Conquerors' menu ambience plays - despite the SFX not fitting with the menu art used. (I've replaced with the original AoK menu SFX track. This change does not affect music.)
If you have any suggestions, or have noticed any other strange issues with the main menu that could be fixed, feel free to comment them below.

Great mod, much better than similar ones. One minor problem though: When hovering the mouse in between two icons except for the Workshop there are relatively large areas where both icons light up. This is especially prominent with learn to play and main logo and single player and main logo.
Also after moving the Workshop sign, now the multiplayer sign looks out of place. I agree with blk_panther that moving it to the right would be great.

I think if you move the Multiplayer a litte too the right, too, it'll look much better. While you're at it, the Map Editor could use a rod, too. Again, beautiful work. It might not bug most people, but I really apreciate the level of detail.

Great, and a great reaction time also, thank you.
You might want to consider filling the changelog (top right) with content too, so one can see what exactly you changed (and when).

blk_panther -

Thanks for pointing this out. One or two little errors with this mod have now been fixed, including the two you mentioned :)

Some small bugs:
The "Steam Workshop" highlight seems to have a "harder" edge than the rest.
The hd edition banner seems to highlight when I hover my mouse over "Single Player" or "Learn to Play".
Else great work!
