    Menus

    SkyUI is a mod that aims to improve Skyrim's user interface on the PC, by making it easier to use with mouse and keyboard, less wasteful of available screen space, and nicer to look at. We do all that while keeping true to the style of the original UI, so new and old components are integrated seamlessly.

    The goal never was to re-create the complete interface from scratch, but instead to identify and focus on areas that need improvement, while leaving the things that are already good alone.

    SkyUI covers all core item menus and includes many other useful features, which are listed in the following:

    Inventory Menu

    The player inventory has been changed from the original two-list-layout to a single large panel:

    []Icons to replace the text-based category list.[/]

    []Colored icons for each item type.[/]

    []Configurable text size, so more entries can be displayed at once.[/]

    []Extra columns to include additional item information. Examples are weight and value in general, and damage or armor rating for specific categories.[/]

    []Sortable columns to order items by a specific stat. Multi-state columns to quickly single out equipped, stolen, enchanted or poisoned items.[/]
