We also reckon highlights could be in a colour other than white, as they struggle to stand out against the lighter background. Some compatibility with famous mods is missing – such as warmth indicators for Frostfall – and some UI elements aren’t clickable yet, so you’ll have to use your keybindings. Uploaded yesterday, the mod is still a work-in-progress, with ElSopa currently seeking feedback for the final version. Version 5 includes better crafting, enchanting, alchemy and smithing menus and several other enhancements. All improvements seamlessly integrate with the style of the original interface. In fact, SkyUI themes is a new series of mods by the noted Skyrim modder ElSopa, suggesting that further editions are planned (could a Morrowind reskin be in the offing?) The first theme is called The Adventurer, and it’s quite clearly based on Oblivion’s UI. SkyUI is an elegant, PC-friendly UI mod for Skyrim with many advanced features. Fortunately, there’s now a mod that lets us import that look to SkyUI. It hadn’t occurred to me that its monochrome minimalism might be kinda ugly too, but I’m reconsidering that in comparison with the classic parchment look of predecessor Oblivion. In fact, it’s so crap that one of the game’s most downloaded mods is SkyUI, which neatly streamlines everything for PC players.
Vanilla Skyrim’s UI is, famously, pretty crap.
