2 years ago I think the changing menu background must've been added in #600.
Probably need to restore menu.png, and put a condition in void igraph::LoadMenu() which is in Main/Source/igraph.cpp.
Regarding Pangea, the generator uses the underwater tunnel exit as the starting point and fills up locations nearest to that. So that's one complication.
Another one is void worldmap::CalculateContinents(). I haven't touched the continent calculator, so it's still the old one. I think it is based on a simple floodfill algorithm, or something like that. The floodfill algorithm would need to be updated so that it checks the other side of the worldmap as well - depending of course on the world's shape. But what is the right stopping criterion? I guess you wouldn't want the floodfill to wrap around the world more than once... (in the cylindrical case - I don't know about a torus)? I think asking the internet how to do a "floodfill on a torus", or a "floodfill on a cylinder", or even a sphere could yield some relevant info.

This is great! :) Compiles OK on Linux, haven't run into any bugs yet.
When using Pangea, the generator puts all locations on a single "part" of the landmass - eg. if the continent goes north and warps to the south, all locations will only be in the northern part and the sounthern part will be empty, even though it's easily reachable. I understand it's probably a limitation of the current location reachability check?
It seems that the disappearing main manu from #587 was merged into pull request, too. I don't think that feature should be merged in its current state - there are some white artifact pixels when parts of the graphics disappear, plus I would like if it was toggleable in config (that's just me, I don't want my main menu disappearing ;) ).
