This is a great mod, thank you!
There're a couple of things that you might want to change though.
1. On one nebula background there's a black smudge on the bottom left.
2. Nebulas don't have animations and there's no anti-aliasing on those since you can see the individual pixels very clearly.
3. Planets don't fit in very well with the background, maybe you could do something to make it look like they are a part of the background (maybe add some shadows around the edges etc.)?
Otherwise, great job!

One planet looks a lot like Jupiter

There was no .ftl file in the download. Only the Images and an XML file. How do I use that mod now?

I think you have opened the FTL file by accident. Try downloading it again, making sure you save it to your hard-drive "as-is".

yeah it doesn't just look like Jupiter. It is Jupiter. Half of the planets in the game are actual planets from our solar system. I guess that's because there is much more descent images of those as opposed to planets from other solar systems.
@Metzelmax
Yes, I think boa13 is right. Probably you have linked the .ftl files to an unzipping program, so it opens right away. When downloading the mod try right-click -> save as...

Great work. But am I the only one who thinks the original blurry backgrounds gave a unique atmosphere? They are good in their own way. And having high-res detailed backgrounds is good in it's own way.

Hey splette, I love the look of your backgrounds and was wondering if I could get your permission to use them in monetized youtube Let's Plays of FTL.
Here's the first video where I tried it out (

Let me know!

I like the blurry ones better then because I can't tell it's Jupiter it just has the same colors and stuff

Yes sure, go ahead. Would be nice if you could link this thread in the YouTube description for anyone who is interested to try out this mod.
@Moosicorn
That's the beauty about mods. You can take them or leave them.
