📋 About This Mod
The power and effect of the glyphs are easily readable. They have the sign rune on them and the dots indicating their power. For runestones it's not so easy with lesser and normal runestones looking the same. I've enhanced the icons a bit adding small effect icons and their power indicator as small engraving at their edges.
Installation: Move in to your mods folder. Not compatible with any mod that edits the same thing.
Uninstall: Delete "modIconsRunestones" in your mod folder.
Runestone Icons is a simple UI replacement for Skyrim that swaps default runestone icons with new ones and adds power and effect indicators. With 553 endorsements and nearly 10,000 downloads, it's a well-received cosmetic tweak for players who want clearer visual feedback on their active effects.

📊 Pros & Cons
✅ Pros
- Community-approved with 553 endorsements and 9,372 downloads
- Simple, focused mod that does exactly what it says
- Lightweight UI tweak that won't impact performance
⚠️ Cons
- Last updated in 2016 — may not be compatible with the latest Skyrim version or other UI mods
- No screenshots or detailed description provided, so you're flying blind on the visual style
- Only affects runestone icons — if you want a full UI overhaul, this won't cut it
For Skyrim players who want clearer visual indicators on their runestone icons without a heavy UI overhaul. If you're a mage or use rune spells often, this could be a nice quality-of-life improvement. Skip if you prefer a complete UI mod or want more extensive changes.
💡 Beginner Tips
- Since it's a simple icon replacement, just drop the files into your Data folder or use a mod manager — no load order worries.
- If you use other UI mods, test this one after them to see if it conflicts visually.
- Check the mod's comments section on Nexus for user screenshots, since the description lacks images.
