📋 About This Mod
A small replacement for journal/book/scroll UI background.
::Installation:: Unpack .dds files into /Data Files/Textures
::Additional mods you may want to use:: — Better Dialogue Font by Hrnchamd, for sharper, more readable text. Must have in any case. — UI simple retexture by Bloodinfested, for aesthetic reasons.
::Note:: Journal/book background was taken from TES IV: Oblivion. I modified it to make the pages look older and less bright, to match Morrowind's low brightness color scheme.
A compact UI overhaul that swaps the default journal, book, and scroll backgrounds in Skyrim with a new design. With 501 endorsements and over 12,000 downloads, it's a popular cosmetic tweak for players who want a fresh look for their reading menus. Last updated in 2014, so it's stable but old.
