      💡 Beginner Tips

      • If you use a mod manager, you can preview the textures before installing to see if the dark style fits your setup.
      • Check if you have other UI mods that edit the skill menu – load order matters to avoid conflicts.
      • Since it's just textures, you can easily uninstall if you don't like it – no save file impact.
