yeah you have to click the link to the downloads page:
http://www.shadowflare.samods.org/dwnload.html
near the bottom there

it might not be obvious how to use it at first, but play around with it a bit and you should be able to work it out. the horizontal scrollbar thingy cycles through the various editable elements and there's a whole bunch of different settings you can edit - the preview display doesn't update automatically if i recall correctly but there's some way to make it update, i forget how exactly

I used to have a tutorial I wrote on this.. No idea where it went, maybe I'll rewrite it, after a good week of working on it, it was rather simple.

Please don't double post, edit your original post. BinEditing is to edit the selection areas of menus, and areas that will display graphics, not to edit the huge background image displayed while loading or the space background of the menu screen. To replace those, just import them into your MPQ under the proper name.
