The product of about 2 days of boredom. Replaces/recolors almost all HUD elements. Minimap: Needs to be installed like a normal mod since IIRC what files can be changed in a texture pack is whitelisted. Requires Rei's Minimap http://dl.dropbox.com/u/30737057/Minepires/Minepires minimap.zip Main File: Dropped in texturepacks folder http://dl.dropbox.com/u/30737057/Minepires/Minepires HUD.zip
You should have taken a picture of empires' hud elements and used the colors of there, your diagonal sections should also have dithering to look less jagged.
Updated the pack with "softer" edges, didn't update screenshots though. Also added the minimap textures.
My life's dream is now complete, off to more mediocrity! *whooshing sound* But yea this is the extent of my sk1llz. Feel free to poke fun at it and etc.
