About this mod
This mod aims to replace the UI throughout the whole game with a clean minimalist look. No more ugly yellow scrolls and jagged text boxes!

Version 0.51 14/05/23 - Completed "p_map1_ID", "skl_paper_ID", "learn_skl_ID". Altered brightness "p_paper_ID", "p_status_ID", "stora_paper_ID". Merge files now available.
PLEASE NOTE
This mod isn't finished yet - there's a lot of texture files to get through and I don't have a huge amount of spare time at the moment. Having said that, I have been at it a while and feel I've now done enough that it will be a useful addition to the game, and I may as well upload what I have so far while working on the rest.
Below is a non-exhaustive list of the texture files this mod affects and their completion status. (Excuse the formatting it's just copied and pasted from my document)
Installation
Copy the nativePC folder into your game's install location. Remember to back up all of the .arcs you will be replacing. You can also use a mod manager for install.
If you use other mods that affect the same .arcs this mod does (game_main, bbs_rpg, bbsrpg_core, title, and the GUI .arcs), then you will need to do some merging, below is a guide on how to do that.
Merging
Firstly you will need ARCtool, I won't cover the basics of how to use it here as there are already guides out there for that. Make sure you are using the latest version.
Then, download the merge files version of Cleaner UI, under optional files. Merge files are essentially the isolated files that a mod changes, extracted from the .arcs they belong to - without any of the unchanged vanilla files.
You'll need to examine which .arcs need to be merged. Only the .arcs that your other mods change will need to be merged - probably game_main.arc at the least, but not many other mods touch the .arcs located in the gui folder, for example. So for those, you can just use the already packed .arcs from the main file.
Now unpack the .arcs from your other mods, as an example let's say you've unpacked the game_main.arc from another mod. You'll now see a regular folder with the same name. In a separate window open the nativePC folder from the Cleaner UI merged files you downloaded, and find the game_main folder. Copy this and paste it onto the game_main folder back in the ARCtool window, and confirm the overwrites. Now repack this folder back into an .arc. This is now a merged .arc and you can paste in into the game directory as normal. Always back up your vanilla .arcs first.
Huge thanks to FluffyQuack for ARCtool, I couldn't have made this mod without it.
