The new title screen is loathsome to me, so I will be replacing it with the old one once the patch is 'final'.

But.. it looks just the same at 1280X1024 as it does at 1024X768 so I don't think there are any problems introduced beyond the obvious garishness of it. I usually play in 16-bit color, though. Maybe it would look different at 24-bit or 32-bit color?
