Ok, i understand the fact that it would be desirable to have an option for the backround or even changing them from week to week or month to month. How much time do you spend looking at that screen? me? not alot. Personally its not really bothersome to me. I can see how it might get boring, but to be willing to pay for it is a little extreme.. and that would be kinda weak to get in a pre order package.

This idea, as cool as it would be, isn't going to happen. From a coding standpoint, it can't happen.

how can this not happen from a codeing stand point?

i agree with big mutt tho, not really a needed change.

Ever since TexMod use has become prevalent, it becomes rather obvious that ArenaNet is wrong about their title screen, and either they have the worst programmers in the world or they are using it as a BS excuse. The background of the title screen and the buttons are seperate entitys, as is the news window and the login windows. You can change the background all you want (editing colors etc) and it does not change the buttons because they are all textures. Changing the background does not effect the other button textures nor their functionality.
So either Anet has the worst programmers in the gaming industry or they just don't want to do it for time reasons.
Take a guess which 1 is right. (hint: the latter)

5$ they lost the old panorama graphics.
thats why they can't do it, they accidentally deleted them, because it isn't that hard to make panorama's and a configurable option for them. Nothing would be affected unless if they honestly have the worst programmers known to man because not even a freaking COLLEGE FRESHMAN PROGRAMMER would do something that would prevent them from allowing a panorama to be changed.
seriously!

To make it more common speak, this is what is in the title screen:
*1 texture that says Guild Wars
*a programmed box that displays news.
*1 moving or not moving background graphic.
*A bunch of SEPARATE textures for a login button, a login window, and an Options button.
*After logging in, a character select screen that is a bunch of SEPARATE textures.
The moving or not moving background graphic is a set of textures completely different from the textures of the character select screen, options menu, login window, etc. TexMod easily proves this. None of the textures of the options menu or character select screen are a part of the panorama, they are completely different, separate, textures that are placed on top of the panorama.
Basically you could change the panorama to the Prophecies one right now, and it'll look the exact same except have Prophecies music, and the Prophecies background, and the Prophecies character select background. There is absolutely nothing that would prevent this, as the multiple character arrows things are also textures super imposed on top of the background. You'd still have the current gen EOTN looking login window, news, options button obviously.
literally the only way this isn't possible is if they are terrible programmers and considering they decided to use BLOBs instead of GUI's for item tracking, I'm going to assume they aren't terrible programmers and are just lazy and/or time & money issues.

I'm sorry, but, please. Everyone here who has programmed even a mite knows this can be done. I watched that movie on Nightfall's making, and I believe the production team said they wanted people to love Guild Wars. Well, doing things like this are the way to do it.

i'm tired of the EotN log-in music and bkg - would really love to have my old Nightfalls login back. Or any of them for that matter. A simple check-box at the bottom from the four episodes would be fab.
i still have the bkg screen savers from proph and nightfall.... could always send it to them

Many people would love this... although it's at the bottom of the list...
I also miss the different login and screen selection themes.
I can hear them since I have DirectSong, but I'd love to enter the game or leave to the logout screen and randomly have them back.

maybe add it to the in-store as a product?
Idk why they can't do it. Just make it re-released with the option of more character slots. If they can change RoJ, they can change this. xD
