Show pictures in dialogs? (or where are the newspapers?)

Post by JPJ »

TOAW IV shows a picture in the Scenario Briefing. TOAW III showed pictures in more dialogs, for example News (left in screenshot) and Inventory and Replacements (right) in addition to the Scenario Briefing (bottom). I miss that.

Is it possible to show pictures in more dialogs? Perhaps by modding dialog windows? (I'm not familiar with modding at all but see interesting things.)

I like how the pictures differentiated some dialogs from others and added some historical feeling. I especially like the old newspapers background for news. It still always makes a scenario feel so actual to me when that pops up.

If it is possible at all, pictures need not cover the whole window for me. Even a small picture in a corner may be enough to differentiate some windows a little more and give that feeling back.

I can look at adding the hooks for those.
