📋 About This Mod
This is ONLY a texture replacer! You must first have a complete installation of gothic251\'s DarkUI Darn - get it here: http://tesnexus.com/downloads/file.php?id=11280 Once you have that installed, just unzip this .rar into your oblivion/data/ folder, overwriting when prompted. An extra folder is 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! Now with Hotkey Wheel and HUD frame add-on (optional - will require ArchiveInvalidation). Extract to \"Oblivion/Data/\". Added: optional persuasion mini-game textures (will probably require archiveinvalidation). Extract to data folder. 4-30-08: Patch file added for compatibility with DarkUI DarN 1. 5. 5. This will correct issues on the map page with location and option boxes showing as dark red.
