📋 About This Mod

This mod is for people who like a darker User Interface (based on Darnified UI) but aren\'t fond of the dark red of the original DarkUI. This is a black and gold replacer. This is ONLY a texture replacer! You must have the original DarkUI Darn installed. Get it here! Once that\'s installed and configured, just unzip the \"DarkUI_BlackGold\" into your \"Oblivion/Data/\" folder, overwriting when prompted. Files are included for easy reversion to the original DarkUI any time you want. All credit for this UI mod goes to Darn, Darkbirdy, and Gothic251 - all I did was recolor their work! Note: This will not work properly at low resolutions - anything under 1024x768 (and maybe not even at that one). To pre-emptively answer the following questions I get every time: - The inventory idle pose is from a Japanese idle mod called 1-2HandIdle. The link where I got it is dead. No, I don\'t know where you can get it. - The world map is this one: Cyrodiil Terrain Map - To get the colored local map, open your oblivion.ini and change bLocalMapShader=1 to bLocalMapShader=0 - Yes, the character in the screenshots has custom face and body textures. No, they\'re not available for download.
