🎯 Tips & Tricks
If you're on the Next-Gen version, make sure you download the correct file variant—the description mentions Classic, so check for a separate Next-Gen version.
Back up your original icon files before installing, so you can revert if you don't like the changes.
Use a mod manager like Vortex or Mod Organizer 2 to keep track of the files and avoid conflicts with other UI mods.
