# Monochrome User Interface
by Dedaenc

NB This README.md is formatted in github-flavoured markdown; copy and paste the full text in to https://jbt.github.io/markdown-editor to view it effectively.

## Features:

* Flat white design for all interactive elements (menu items etc)
* Includes two sets of ini tweaks: the first all-white (fully monochrome) with white stat bars, and the second (less monochrome version) where all stat bars retain low-saturated versions of their vanilla look (based on darkened vanilla colours in destruction, restoration and illusion spell icons).
* All headers, borders, and other lines are removed
* Compass logo redone in the style of a modern navigation symbol in black-bordered white.
* Crosshair replaced with a black-bordered white dot
* Cursor variants redone as simple black-bordered white arrows
* All map markers are filled
* All enchantment icons are removed
* All equipped icon borders in flat white
* Barter icon borders in flat red
* New main menu based on Bethesda's Morrowind webpage image
* New splash screen based on the same image
* Default splash and main menu in vanilla resolutions (1024x1024 and 1024x512, respectively)
* 2048x1536 (4:3), 2048x1280 (16:10) and 2048x1152 (16:9) resolutions are also available in the `optional` directory
* New Journal buttons in black, with blue hover and press
* Includes recoloured Journal and Scroll backgrounds
* Includes blank .bik files in order to bypass the Bethesda and main menu videos
