In the game Counter Strike 1.6, you can change the GUI as you like. The game can be completely customizable. Every where there would be clear information shown in each file which gives you information on how the game starts and runs. And hence, you can always edit these customizable settings of the game as you like which makes your work easier or which makes you feel good.
For changing the Menu Labels in the Menu Screen, you need to go to cstrike\resources\GameMenu.res. There you can see some lines with the same words as they appear in Menu Screen. So, you can type what ever word you want there, like intead of "Quit" word you can put "Bored for Now" or "Enough for Now", instead of some "Resume" you can put some other word.
For changing the Command menu items which appear in the game when pressed "h", the default key, you need to do as indicated below,
Go to
commandmenu.txt in your cstrike folder. Open it with any normal and basic text editor. It looks like a tree of items, like a C language program. Don't worry, it not like it anyways. It consists of some menu items and some sub menu items. You can compare it with the menu you get when you press "h". Make a backup of that file, because you are going to edit it. Paste this code in the
commandmenu.txt file.
// This is the command menu..!
// The menu that appears when u press "h"...!

These menu items will come handy only when you have started the listen server. Else, these commands wont work. Or you can put rcon in front of every command in these menu items.
