While working on Dear Diary Dark Mode I put my hands on the dialogue menu.
I bring some handy features together, so decided to release it as a separate mod.
These features will be included in Dear Diary's dialogue menu as well of course.

- Topics selectable with numbers keys
- More dialogue topics displayed

- NPC name and exit button can be hidden
- Configurable text size and color
- Works on any aspect ratio (16:9, 16:10, 21:9, 32:9, 4:3, 5:4, etc)
- 60 frames per second
- No scripts, no ESP, no DLL, install or remove on current playthrough
- Available skins: Vanilla, Nordic UI, Dialogue Interface Reshaped
TECH DETAILS
This mod comes with configuration file: "interface\dialoguemenu.txt". In this file you can: hide NPC name, hide exit button, hide topic numbers, set positions and colors of some elemets. You can edit these parameters while the game is running, just save the file and reopen the dialogue menu to see the effect.
Better Dialogue Controls mod is fully integrated with all its features (listed on that mod's page).
You can use 1-9 number keys (including numpad keys) on your keyboard to choose between first 9 dialogue topics. The main difference with Numerical dialogue options mod is that this feature now fully compatible with Nether's Follower Framework custom dialogue topics (and any other similar mods). Besides, you'll now see all 9 numbered topics on the screen (in vanilla menu only 4 is displayed without scrolling). Only 9 topics are numbered, because you can't press "10" on keyboard ;)
I've done my best to make this menu work properly with any aspect ratio, ultrawide, normal, or "square". Let me know if you face any issue on some non-standard sreen resolution.
There are four different versions: Vanilla, Nordic UI, Dialogue Interface Reshaped, Minimalist Dialogue Interface. These versions are different only in visual design, all features are equal. Take a look at screenshots. Let me know if there are some more interesting menu designs with open permissions to patch.
