This is the whole enchilada, you can see the scroll bars, and CP and map elements have changed just a tad.

Here are some Mid Level views:

I think you can get the idea of what I was aiming for and I think I achieved it. I might tackle the Reports and try to make them pop just a little bit. But I really want to get into playing this as I have spend some time workin on graphics now.

Feedback is welcomed.

I'll display some of this in the next AAR I write up.

Thanks for reading.

NOTE: You can click on any of the screenshot images and it will make it a bit bigger if your browsing this on a desktop computer.

After updating the map (more then just desaturating the hues), the Command Panel, and after updating the first three lead in screens I also tackled updating all the reports in the game. So now for the most part I think my WWII-E mod is complete.
