An earthy, vaguely celtic themed windowskin. The border and highlight cursor I made myself (I know I know, not exactly amazing stuff), and the background texture, plus the celtic knot and gem cursors are edited versions of graphics I got from a free clip-art site. I also did the little sparkle animation on the gem, and I'm rather proud of how unsucky it is (or seems to me, anyway), despite the fact that it's extremely simple. :P

Can anyone think of anything I can do to improve this? I haven't animated the battle cursor, because I couldn't think of something I can do with two frames that doesn't look crappy. The background is meant to be tiled, not stretched.

The border was also made specifically to look good inside menus. The idea is that, when you activate a menu screen, it looks like there's one, solid border running throughout the whole thing, seperating all the windows, rather than seperate borders that are touching each other (which I tend to think looks bad). I'm trying to decide whether the top of the border hurts that or not. So if anyone could give me their opinion on how they feel that aspect of it turned out, I'd be grateful.

Edit: I made another version, without the "stripes" at the top part of the border. I'm not sure which one looks better, though.

Thank you for viewing
