Theme Pack 4 - Shivering Isles

Description

The fourth in a series of theme packs for Atmospheric Loading Screens. Pack #4 replaces loading screens from the Shivering Isles according to various subthemes.

Details

Version 1.0 of Pack #4 replaces 134 loading screens from Atmospheric Loading Screens.

There are currently 8 subthemes as well as an "Other" group which contains some unique loading screens that did not fit with any other group. Screens in each of the 8 subthemes received new backgrounds based on textures from the Shivering Isles and related to that theme. The screens in the Other group each have a unique new background that may eventually be used for future Shivering Isles contributions.

All current SI shots are replaced except 4 which show the Cyrodiil-side portal.

The subthemes include...

4-1 - The Fringe (8 screens)
4-2 - Butterflies (2 screens)
4-3 - New Sheoth (15 screens)
4-4 - Root Caves (6 screens)
4-5 - Ruins (22 screens)
4-6 - Order (10 screens)
4-7 - Mania (39 screens)
4-8 - Dementia (30 screens)
4-9 - Other (3 screens)
