Just open the mainmenu.map in DotHalo and extract all of the bitmaps that have the words "ui" in them, they should all be there.

open hex workshop and click ctrl+f then type the word
and itll search and find it, when it does change it but warning u have to use the same exact number of characters like if the word is "hey" = 3 characters then u have to do sumthing like "bye" = 3 charcters also

Use CH2R for the bitmaps, and blu for the words. Search to find these.

i know how to extract and inject nearly any bitmap mainly, its just that i can't find which one it is. by the way, the thing on the left of ch2r is messed up since i have vista, so i can't see the search button, its allllll black

so don't search. If you MUST then bloody well experiment. It may appear differently on your computer than in-game. Extract the bitmaps; change a few and see what changes when you play the Main Menu
