📋 About This Mod
For Witcher 3 - v1. 31/1. 32
Runestone icons replacement with rank and effect indicators.
"BETTER ICONS - RUNE" FEATURES :
Standard :
1)Added additional stripes to make it easier to differentiate rune rank.
2)Added a small icon on the rune for easier indication of the rune effect.
3)Slightly redone color balance depending on the rank of the rune.
4)Added a small glow of rank 2 runes.
Standard + Recolor :
Changed the color of the "Perun" icon. It gives adrenaline and (to my taste) it makes more sense for it to be red.
Standard + Banana :
Banana rune effect icon for "Stribog".
Standard +Lesser Runestone :
Added a small anvil icon on the Lesser Runestone.
