📋 About This Mod
UI Expansion Dark Icons
Summary
This mod contains greyscale versions of UI Expansion's inventory filtering icons, which look better with a darker UI like Skyrim UI Overhaul.
The inventory filtering icons (for weapons, apparel and so on, and the X icon in search bars) that come with UI Expansion are designed to match Morrowind's vanilla UI; they look quite out of place in a darker UI.
The icons in this mod were created by simply desaturating the ones that come with UI Expansion. I think they look pretty good with Skyrim UI. UI Expansion's magic school icons look fine with Skyrim UI, so did not need to be modified.
A more ideal solution for Skyrim UI in particular would be to create brand new icons on a plain black background with a border, but my Gimp-fu is too weak. So this will have to do until someone else does a better job.
Installation
Use a mod management tool such as Wrye Mash, or just copy the icons directory into your Data Files directory.
This mod requires UI Expansion, and is not recommended if you're not also using a darker UI like Skyrim UI Overhaul.
