Probably the last UI mod I'll make in a while..✏️ Inspired by comic book aesthetic and WinXP here and there. Something for the light mode users out there, without being too white n bright on the eyes :-)

has anyone perchance found a loophole or mod around the text color in the game? its hard to see the blue and green of the text with this and it makes me sad bc I refuse to remove this mod
Hi! It seems like your mods are causing bugs in my game. Also, Paperlite UI was preventing the game from launching—I'm not sure if it's just me (I updated all your mods recently).
What kind of bug does it look like? Paperlite UI hasn't needed an update since its release, as the last several patches didn't break the UI textures in any way.
Is this compatible with the last patch as the page says compatible with August?
Yes, I don't think this is ever broken since I first relased it back in May.
Like see a y2k paperlite
Simplesmente perfeito, já testei e recomendo muito muito... Obrigada por disponibilizar esse trabalho tão incrivel...
would love to see this but darker the atheistic is so cute but the color hurt my eyes a little bit
hello. i really love your mods. it made my game feel incredible and not boring. I also use expansion mods about occult by SpinningPlumbobs. Would you mind if i suggest you made the add-on plumbob for the occult?. would be appreciate it. thankiu for wonderful interface!
When will version 1.126 be updated？
This doesn't need an update. You can always check the linked mod status for the latest patch compatibility info of this mod.
i use biege but wanna try this one
Hi hi, you'll update this mod? It's broken after the last game update...
After testing, nothing in particular breaks from this mod. It's compatible with the latest patch. If you encounter a black screen after loading the game, update any main menu overrides you have installed.
is this compatible with latest update?
Yes. If you use any main menu overrides though, update those since they broke with the patch.
wow this is so unique!! Love it!
I need it give me 14 of them right now
Omg...this will fit my comic book inspired forever file!

So this is a skin for the backgrounds, something more brighter? than the usual blue

Oh, this is GOOD.
If there becomes a dark mode to this, I will absolutely lose my mind because this is hands down the best UI I've seen in a long time. I love the comic vibes.
Seconding this! A dark mode would be awesome, but this is already peak! Fits perfectly with your already comic-y stuff :D
