This is the paper interface replacer for almost all SkyUI menus (and most of those UI elemets that are not covered by SkyUI).
Used Tools:
Photoshop - for textures Inkscape - for vector graphics JPEXS - for SWF files editing
1. Install the mod with mod manager, just follow the FOMOD installer instructions and choose whatever you like. I don't support manual installation, but if you really want to install it manually, of course you can. All the folders in the archive are named properly.
2. After installation you can open the file interface\deardiary\config.txt for enabling-disabling some options and to set transparency if you need it. There is detailed description for every option in that file.
Completely safe to install / uninstall / update mid-game (of course if using any modern mod manager).
It's a big section, but don't be afraid... Dear Diary is compatible with most mods, some mods are obsolete (Dear Diary has the same functions included), and even "incompatible" mods may be used without issues if you let them overwrite Dear Diary files, they just won't have a paper look or the UI will be visually inconsistent.
General rule: Let Dear Diary overwrite EVERYTHING unless stated otherwise
If you use another mod that modifies the config.txt file from SkyUI and you don't want for some reason to fully overwrite it with mine, you'll need to "merge" two config.txt files. If you don't know how to do it, try asking mod author to make a patch for Dear Diary.
I recommend using the included Friz Quadrata font (you can see it on screenshots), or Sovngarde font replacer by Mist, or Enderal font replacer (only for languages with latin alphabet).
I don't recommend using the Reshade with this UI replacer, because Reshade alters everything on screen (while ENB works only for the game and not for the UI elemets).
My new mod: Oblivion-like Loading Menu (separate from Dear Diary as I don't want to include any ESP here).
Paper UI Sounds by Muffloid - a project to replace Skyrim's UI sounds with paper sounds, to work with paper interface retextures and maps. Works great with my mod. Dear Diary will automatically detect it and will use new sound descriptors from it.
Wood and Paper by uranreactor (me): overall darker textures, nice for dungeon crawling. Dear Diary Ui Skins by K0W4LSK1: hub for new skins; for now the leather version is realeased. Dwemer Readius UI by rob18: a reskin of the UI theme to an ancient Dwemer device display. The Wooden Pad by NismoMan: a wood and paper themed skin replacer for Dear Diary.
