📋 About This Mod

WARNING: This .exe seems to work fine, but I'm still not sure about the stability of this .exe, please keep that in mind. Always keep backups of your files. I'm not responsible for any kind of damage that this may cause.

This is a modification of TES Construction Set.exe, which provides better readibility and use of space of all popups. All elements of these popups are widened to fit more text of them, while also trying to make them look clean. All popup windows are affected. Also I have noticed that this .exe opens a bit longer than original. Apparently some people have reported that this .exe opens faster than the original.

I'm planning on making some changes where neccessary, so feedback is very much welcome.

Introducing Dark Mode (sort of...) (credit for that goes to Hemaris)

It's not possible to make Construction Set itself run in Dark Mode, but you can achieve that by enabling Dark Mode (if you're on Windows 10) and enabling High Contrast mode. You also need to make sure that TES Construction Set.exe is run in Windows XP Compatibility Mode, just so all parts of CS UI are affected.

To enable High Contrast mode:
