Works great! Just a note for newer Steam users, it wouldn't work for me in the documents suggested install, I had to put it in "Steam\steamapps\common\Grim Dawn\" and make the settings folder. Started right up in Dawn of Masteries no problem
I'm using a 55" 4k TV as monitor and actually played at half resolution - until I happened upon this mod. Thanks for this QOL gimmick.
It might be worth to mention here that in options.txt the setting uiScale = 1 (slider max right in Options/Video) could be changed to 1.25 or more: the icons are more distinguishable in the status bar, the lore/question log becomes readable again. Don't touch the slider now or you have to do the manual adjustment again.
No matter what file I install, the cursor doesn't change. This is the first mod I've installed. I did it through the vortex installer. I tried just my normal game and a new custom game, but the cursor just stays the same. Is there something I need to do to enable mods or something like that?? TIA!
EDIT: Also, if I manually download the file, it downloads a .7z file, but doesn't recognize that it's a compressed file, so I can't "extract" it. I'm also a n00b so good chance I'm just doing something wrong.
Sorry about the Vortex confusion, I missed the checkbox to disable downloading with it when I uploaded the current version of the mod.
.7z archives can be extracted using 7-Zip, PeaZip and similar file archivers.
I'm not sure if the mod can be made compatible with Vortex - the Grim Dawn extension for it uses the \Grim Dawn\mods\ folder, which I think might not work for this type of mod (if it does, it might require playing in Custom Game mode... which wouldn't be ideal).
That's so weird. I have 7 zip but it wasn't automatically recognizing the file. I had to open 7 zip and then extract from within the program. Oh well....got it to work! Thanks!

this is the folder - C:\Users\[name-here]\OneDrive\Documents\My Games\Grim Dawn\Settings
It might be worth trying the other install method - create a "settings" folder in the Grim Dawn install directory, e.g.
C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\Grim Dawn\settings\(Steam default)or
C:\Program Files (x86)\GOG Galaxy\Games\Grim Dawn\settings\(GOG default)...and extract the files there.

And yes, I'm old... *sigh*
