📋 About This Mod

DarkUI\'d DarN 1. 6 By Gothic251 ***************************************************************************** ALRIGHT!!!! I DID IT!!!!!!! Here you go guys, I know how much you all ask DarN and Darkbirdy and god knows who else if there\'s a DarkUI version of DarNified UI. I worked my butt off (200 plus hours) changing the colors, fixing small bugs, and generally making a perfect DarkUI-ified DarNified UI. I\'ve changed the colors of certain things in certain places that differ from the normal DarkUI, simply because the changes of DarNified UI called for this. For instance, when choosing a dialog option, the person\'s name is now whiter than the dialog choices, so as to make it easier to discern between the person\'s name and the options. I also worked out a lot of niggles and bugs, such as when you are over encumbered, now in the inventory, like in the container, only the current encumbrance is red, not the max and the current and the slash. I have tested this pretty extensively myself, but if any bugs or things arise, or if any colors look off, tell me, and I\'ll look into it. I hope you guys like it, Gothic251 ************************************************************************** This package includes the whole of DarNified UI version 1. 3. 2, and all of DarkUI version 2. 40. It also contains Darkbirdy\'s DarkUI Loading Screens, and the Shivering Isles DarkUI Loading Screens by HTF. It also includes a DarkUI-ified Main Menu Video and Map-Scroll Video by Fritzdog. This also fixes tiling issues with the textures in the map and inventory screens, as thanks to the amazing work of Brumbek and Belinda. You may want to back up your Video folder first, in case you don\'t like Fritzdog\'s replacements. Notice: These videos, due to space restrictions, are only in the manual version. If you want these DarkUI\'d default videos, download the manual version and move the files in the video folder, or download them here http://www.tesnexus.com/downloads/file.php?id=11086 If you are upgrading from a previous installation, please uninstall the old version before installing 1. 6, as several files have been moved, and failure to delete them first will result in meaningless multiple files. ***************************************************************************** MANUAL INSTALLATION First, if you have installed a previous version, uninstall the old version first. For uninstallation instructions, refer to lower down the readme. This will ensure a bug-free clean install of 1. 6 1. Extract \"Fonts\", \"Menus\", \"Meshes\", \"Textures\" and \"Video\" folders to the Data folder. 2. The method for DarNified Books has changed with DarNifiedUI 1. 3. 2. With the release of Grimbots Shivering Book Jackets, the amount of esps needed to accommodate everyone would have tripled. Now it is handled through Wrye Bash. In Wrye Bash version 1. 54 and higher, there is an optional tweak option to DarNify all your books. For
