📋 About This Mod
Adds custom background image support for the various UI Extender mods by therealralts.
A lightweight patch for OpenMW users running UI Extenders, enabling custom menu backgrounds for Hayakawadono's UI mods. It edits roughly two lines of code in a single file per mod, only works with textures named 'omw_menu_background.png', and will be removed if UI Extenders adds native support. Compact niche fix with 13 endorsements.
✨ Key Features
📊 Pros & Cons
✅ Pros
- Changes just ~2 lines of code per mod, so it's a lightweight, surgical fix.
- Directly enables omw_menu_background.png backgrounds for UI Extender mods that lack native support.
- Author invites reports: 'knock on my door' if a UI mod still doesn't change background.
⚠️ Cons
- Only affects textures named exactly 'omw_menu_background.png'; custom-named backgrounds stay broken.
- Patches multiple UI files across different mods, risking conflicts with other UI mods or future updates.
- Tiny adoption (13 endorsements, 115 downloads) means rare setups aren't widely tested.
For OpenMW players using UI Extenders who want custom menu backgrounds and run Hayakawadono's UI mods. For tinkerers comfortable installing a small patch to make their UI mods work together. Skip if you don't use UI Extenders or already have native background support.
💡 Beginner Tips
- Install this patch after your UI mods in your OpenMW data folders so the patched files override the originals.
- If the background still doesn't change, make sure your texture is named exactly 'omw_menu_background.png'.
- The patch ships one file per specific UI mod, so only install the files for mods you actually use.
