It's beautiful!

I like the ornamentation a lot, as well as those details that mark the center of the compass.

In the far future this could work as a mod where pc can buy different compass in stores. Pc could then equip one compass and it will reflect in the ui visualization on the screen ;)

Not sure about different compasses in stores, this seems kinda excessive. Unless there would be several awesome mods and it can be a solution to make them sorta compatible. Still, I think that UI should work together and every element fit. Maybe have a few different versions to choose from in menus, not buy in stores. But that's just me :)

The compass is awesome, I really like it. It's both HD and really old-school in a very cool way! Definitely fits the game. Though I would like blue letters to be darker or more distinct, otherwise they would be very hard to see if the compass is scaled down and I don't think everybody will want to see a huge compass on the screen all the time.

Think of mods like Immersive HUD for Skyrim and Darnified UI for Oblivion. Most players prefer as little HUD on the screen as possible, even if it is so cool looking.

I finally finished it (got carried of by my job and just being lazy 8-) )
Also tried to create transparent one, but it seems that COMPASS.IMG doesn't support alpha.

They look great. (And the Windows 95 one brings back a lot of memories ;) )

Yo ho, ho, ho, a pirate's life for me. I'm keeping it!

Daggerfall uses a bright pink as alpha. Did you try direct transparency or a bright pink hue?

Oh, didn't know that. Allright, i will update archive later with transparent one to make it more immersive as Nikita proposed earlier.
