📋 About This Mod
This is upload of my mini mod from reddit, but I updated it a bit (cosmetic stuff). This is a replacement for buttons icons, so instead of useless xbox buttons you have keyboard keys corresponding to DEFAULT settings. This mod is based on Kyodan\'s interface, but white keys he used weren\'t very readable, so I fired my photoshop and changed keys as well as text. Now you have black keys with white text. It contrasts better and IMHO fits game more. I also included PSD file so you can change keys if needed. Feel free to use this little mod as you see fit, I consider this an OSP. Changelog: 1. 1 - Current release *fixed mismatched controls for menu keys 1. 0. 1 - Initial release Installation Instructions: 1. You need latest DSfix installed 2. In DSfix.ini set enableTextureOverride value to 1 3. Put PNG file in \"\\dsfix\\tex_override\" 4. IMPORTANT! PC version of DS have two different sets of buttons for switching in menus and ingame (when picking up items etc.). There is no way for me to make both sets work at the same time, so you will need to change keys so they match \"Ins\"/\"Del\" switching in menus. Sorry, cant do anything about this.

✨ Key Features
📊 Pros & Cons
✅ Pros
- 2,242 endorsements prove it delivers the black icon look without issues.
- 64,177 downloads make it a proven, widely used UI tweak.
- Does exactly what it says — no bloat, just black keyboard buttons.
⚠️ Cons
- Last updated September 2012, so there's real risk of incompatibility with newer game patches.
- Only changes keyboard button icons, not the rest of the UI, so you'll still see default colors elsewhere.
- Will conflict with other UI mods that replace the same keyboard button icons.
For interface purists who want a consistent dark aesthetic on keyboard prompts. For players who find default button icons too bright or mismatched with a dark theme. Skip if you need a full UI overhaul — this only swaps keyboard button icon colors.
💡 Beginner Tips
- Use a mod manager if your game supports one, so you can toggle the icon swap without manually tracking files.
- If installing manually, place the black icon files into the game's UI or interface directory, overwriting only the keyboard button icon files.
