Rebuild of the SkyUI favorites menu:


  • Split off the magics: each school gets its own pane, with another for shouts & powers
  • More generous kerning in entry's text layout; text is less cramped
  • Translation included for the 9 languages Skyrim ships in
  • FOMOD installer offers 6 aspect ratios:
    • 32:9   - 3840x1080, aka SuperWide
    • 21:9   - 2560x1080, aka UltraWide
    • 16:9   - 1920x1080, e.g. FullHD, 4K
    • 16:10  - 1728x1080, e.g. WXGA (Skyrim will actually run with this literal size... kudos Bethesda!)
    • 3:2     - 1620x1080, used in Microsoft Surface devices
    • 4:3     - 1440x1080, ye olde PAL & NTSC

    What matters is the ratio of width to height, not the size; all these objects are vectorized. With 2560x1080, it renders pixel-identical as when using 3440x1440. See this Wikipedia graphic for sizes & what aspect ratio they correspond to.

SkyUI version warning:
You'll likely get a warning from SkyUI about versioning, unless you've disabled that one for the favorites menu. Since I've been unable to find the SkyUI v5 source code, I used the latest I could find, which is v4.1. As such, this build is technically for a v4.1 release, and I left the version indication as such. If anyone knows where the SkyUI v5 source code can be found, please let me know. This warning can be disabled in the SkyUI Mod Configuration Menu, specifically in:
Sky UI > Advanced > SWF Version Checking > Favorites Menu

The sky dial in some snapshots is from A Matter of Time; it is not included in this mod.


Translation note: manually did Spanish & French. Italian is probably ok. Czech & dutch & polish & russian are... maybe ok? Japanese, I can't even render, so ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

If you want to suggest a more appropriate translation, I welcome feedback. If my word choice is not ideal for you, you're free to edit the translation files, which are included under Interface/Translations/ArchmagusFavorites_{lang}.txt. Just remember they must be saved as UTF-16 LE with BOM, or SKSE won't successfully load them; the tab character (aka \t) is also important for the file's formatting, so don't auto-convert those to spaces.

The (light flagged) plugin file is empty, and is just there to force SKSE to load the string replacements from the translations directory. If you disable the plugin, the strings won't be loaded, but the replacer will work, so you'll see $TOR_FAV_{key} instead of the pane's title. If you're tight on plugins tho, feel free to disable it. Regardless, nothing in the mod requires scripts nor papyrus calls nor native code in a DLL: it's just a SWF replacer, so it just works™


v2.0.2 Now with support for long names! SkyUI only supported names up to 32 characters long, which is the limit in the Enchanting interface; exceeding that would display a name with the end removed and an ellipsis (...) added. Since the text box is now wider, this mod calculates and fits as much as it can before truncating. This will take into account font choices, so if you font is skinny or chubby, you'll get the correct behavior.
