I've had a lot of opportunity to clean up and refurbish menus and such recently, with some more efficient code I'm learning while tinkering with a new project. So that is the main focus of this patch.

I changed the Emerald Eco Mining theme because it was a little too much for the vibe of the game. Hopefully nobody like loved that track. I didn't. It's replaced.

Thanks for the support, Frack the World is now 1 month old, and has had dozens of small improvements and additions since launch thanks to the support I really was not expecting to have as an unknown developer entering this space. So thank you, I deeply appreciate it. And I can't wait to keep making more fun stuff.
