If any ambitious members of the community would like to continue this project, or incorporate elements of it into their own, that would be great. This texture pack is provided as is with no plans to update it further, myself.
With all of that said, I think the textures I updated make a noticeable improvement to the games visuals, enough that I thought they were worth sharing with the community. I have redrawn some texture elements by hand, but most of the textures contained in this pack are upscaled through the use of various tools and filters. While I enjoy occasionally working with textures for various games and dabble in other artistic pursuits, I am no graphic artist. I began this project just for myself, with no real plans for a public release, only updating the textures of major GUI elements or other textures I felt like experimenting with a bit. Thats where I started, and four hundred-sixty some odd textures later, I suddenly had a texture pack that makes a good portion of the games interface and menus look a bit nicer.
