The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim: SkyUI

SkyUI is a mod that aims to improve Skyrim's User Interface 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.
It is not our goal to re-create the complete interface from scratch.
Instead we try to identify and change areas that need improvement, while leaving the things that are already good alone.



Further general objectives and design concepts are:

* Finding a good balance between 'dumbed down' and 'information overkill'.

* Easy installation and setup.

* Blending features in as well as possible - players shouldn't feel reminded that they're using a mod.

* Support for user customization.


Since improving the whole UI is a big undertaking, we only release single menus at a time as progress is made.
The first menu we addressed was the Inventory. In version 2.0, we included new Barter, Container and Magic menus.
Version 3.0 introduced an in-game configuration menu for mods. The most recent addition was the Favorites menu in version 4.0.
