🎯 Tips & Tricks
Since the mod is from 2009, make sure you're playing the base game without the latest patches or use a mod manager to handle file conflicts.
Check the screenshots before installing to see if the dark theme matches your preference — it's purely cosmetic.
If you use other UI mods, install this one last to avoid overwriting your custom setup.
