This is a combination package mod. Some parts are optional. It replaces the in-game menu, the loading screens, the main animation and adds a map-scroll video.
ALRIGHT!!!! I DID IT!!!!!!! Here you go guys, I know how much you all ask Darn and Darkbirdy and god knows who else if theres a DarkUI version of Darns UI 1.2.1. I worked my butt off changing the colors, fixing small bugs, and generally making a perfect DarkUI-ified Darn UI.
I've changed the colors of certain things in certain places that differ from the normal DarkUI, simply because the changes of Darn UI called for this. For instance, when choosing a dialog option, the person's name is now more white than the dialog choices, so as to make it easier to discern between the person's name and the options.
I also worked out a couple of niggles and bugs, such as when you are over encumbered, now in the inventory, like in the container, only the current encumbrance is red, not the max and the current and the slash.
I have tested this pretty extensively myself, but if any bugs or things arise, or if any colors look off, tell me, and I'll look into it.
I hope you guys like it.

This package includes the whole of Darn's UI version 1.2.1, and all of DarkUI version 2.40. It also contains Darkbirdy's DarkUI Loading Screens, and the Shivering Isles DarkUI Loading Screens by HTF. It also includes a DarkUI-ified Main Menu Video and Map-Scroll Video by Fritzdog. This also fixes tiling issues with the textures in the map and inventory screens, as thanks to the amazing work of Brumbek and belinda.
You may want to back up your Videos folder first, in case you don't like Fritzdog's replacements.
If you are upgrading from a previous installation, there are some files you must delete (if you haven't already) before installing 1.3.5. They are:
textures\menus\hud
textures\menus50\hud
textures\menus80\hud
menus\prefabs\generic_background.xml
menus\prefabs\generic_background2.xml
DarkUIFix.esp
************************************** ************************************** **** *******
To install this,
First, if you have installed a previous version, remove the files above. This will ensure a bug free clean install of 1.3.5.
1. Extract archive to OblivionData.
2. Copy/Activate the desired DarNified Books plugin from the custom_files directory.
DarNified Books.esp - Vanilla Oblivion
DarNified Books_BJ.esp - Book Jackets
DarNified Books_BP.esp - Book Placement
DarNified Books_BP_BJ.esp - Book Jackets & Book Placement
DarNified Books_IO.esp - Intelligence Overhaul
DarNified Books_IO_BJ.esp - Intelligence Overhaul & Book Jackets
You need the mod(s) for which the version is compatible previously installed. Be sure to deactivate their esps. DarNified Books_BP_BJ.esp requires bookplacing.esm to be active.
3. Copy the desired fonts to Oblivion-Data-fonts
4. Edit My Documents\My Games\Oblivion\Oblivion.ini to use the new fonts.
Choose between the two font sizes (Large is just SLIGHTLY larger)
Normal fonts:
[Fonts]
SFontFile_1=Data\Fonts\ Kingthings_Regular.fnt
SFontFile_2=Data\Fonts\ DarN_Kingthings_Petrock_14.fnt
SFontFile_3=Data\Fonts\ DarN_Kingthings_Petrock_16.fnt
SFontFile_4=Data\Fonts\ Daedric_Font.fnt
SFontFile_5=Data\Fonts\Handwritten.fnt
Large fonts:
[Fonts]
SFontFile_1=Data\Fonts\ Kingthings_Regular.fnt
SFontFile_2=Data\Fonts\ DarN_LG_Kingthings_Petrock_14.fnt
SFontFile_3=Data\Fonts\ DarN_LG_Kingthings_Petrock_18.fnt
SFontFile_4=Data\Font\Daedric_Font.fnt
SFontFile_5=Data\Fonts\Handwritten.fnt
5. Install any optional menus or the loading screens by dragging and dropping folders into Data folder. Only use the DarkUI'd Loading Screens if you AREN'T using Atmospheric Loading Screens.
6. If you want full color local maps (They really look AMAZING) open the oblivion.ini and do a search for "blocalmapshader". If it has a 1, change it to 0. It really looks cool full-colored.
************************************** ************************************** **** *******

Known Issues or Bugs
- When you reach top rank in a faction, the next rank label will read 'DUMMY'.
The Unnofficial Oblivion Patch, as made by Quarn and Kivan, now fixes this.
If you are not already using it, download the new 2.2 version of it. This mod fixes THOUSANDS of errors in obivion. Textures, Meshes, Sounds, Placement errors, Text errors, Havok errors, the list goes on. However, while it does fix the Faction Rank bug, it will not fix it for KOTN or SI. For this, I have uploaded a custom DarkUI Fix.esp that will add support for KOTN's Faction and SI's Faction. Simply download it and overwrite if you have KOTN and SI.
