This mod changes the background of the game UI popups and information screens to make them look somewhat weathered and battle damaged. **Now updated - more screens added!

Place these files (whichever look you choose) in your GUI folder and it will overwrite the helmets file pictured in my first post.

Here's one more:

First alternative is what I had in mind. Thanks again, such things add flavor to the game.
