Description
This UI mod is a mix between modified vanilla menus and modified MajorJim's UI menus. It only affects your menus and leaves the vanilla HUD system intact.

Details
Back in 2007 I looked through all of the UI mods and decided I liked MajorJims's UI the best. However, like most mods I use I began modifying it to suit my own tastes. I finished Magus UI later that year and have been using it ever since. I should have released it a long time ago, but I guess it's better late than never. Following is a list of Magus UI details:

- This mod only changes the statistics, inventory, magic, map, quest and container menus. All other menus and the HUD system have been left unchanged from the vanilla game.

- Some of my menus are modified vanilla menus, while others are modified MajorJim menus.

- Larger menus are often made by overlapping vanilla textures. This leaves seams visible, so I created 27 replacement textures to fix these problems. The new textures include new backgrounds, borders and lines for columns and rows. See the animated gifs in the images section for clarification.

- When closing menus any seams between textures becomes horribly apparent. I fixed these seams by fading the textures off at seam locations, moving seam locations, and removing some of the seams by using larger textures. See the menu closing animated gifs in the images section for clarification.

History
v1.01 5/29/09 - Initial release.

Thank MajorJim for creating MajorJim's UI, which made it possible for me to learn how to modify the xml files that construct the menus.

Licensing/Legal
You can do whatever you want with this mod but all I ask in return is that you give me credit if you distribute any part of this mod. Keep in mind that I used some of MajorJim's menus as a base for some of my menus, so be sure to credit him too. I would also like to know what mods are including my work.
