📋 About This Mod
I really miss the semi-transparent menu from Demon\'s Souls. The menu in Dark Souls is a little bit transparent, but not enough to move safely while changing your equipment. Pick from 3 different opacity settings then run with Chaos Scissors+5. Or just make the menu fully opaque. See the preview pictures for the various opacity settings available. Known issue: This mod will cause a small discoloration in the Character Select, and cut off transparency in the System menu. It is not severe enough to make them harder to read.
A user interface tweak that lets you pick from three menu opacity settings or make menus fully opaque. Requires running Chaos Scissors+5 to apply changes. Backed by 1,234 endorsements and 18,004 downloads, but last updated in 2013.
✨ Key Features
📊 Pros & Cons
✅ Pros
- Strong endorsement count (1,234) shows it's been trusted by a lot of players.
- 18,004 downloads means it's been widely adopted.
- Simple preset system: just pick one of three opacity levels or go fully opaque.
⚠️ Cons
- Dated 2013, so compatibility with updated game versions is not guaranteed.
- Only three preset opacity levels, no custom slider for fine-tuning.
- Requires running Chaos Scissors+5 tool after choosing settings, adding an extra setup step.
For players who want less intrusive in-game menus and don't mind using an older mod. Ideal if you prefer quick preset choices over complex customization. Skip if you need fine-grained opacity control or support for recent game patches.
💡 Beginner Tips
- Select your preferred opacity from the three provided options before running Chaos Scissors+5.
- If menus become too transparent during gameplay, use the fully opaque setting as a fallback.
- Run Chaos Scissors+5 after every game update to reapply the transparency changes.
