Thank you very much! I really like your mod and I'm glad to use it in the game, there are no conflicts with a bunch of my other mods. Good luck and all the best to you!
This mod uses no scripts. However it does conflict directly with Smooth GUI! I already wrote something concerning this earlier, here it is again: I have not tested Smooth GUI nor do I intend to. However, from what I understand about that mod, they should work together to a certain degree. The following excerpt is taken from the compatibility section of Smooth GUI:
"This mod will conflict with most other mods that edit redswf files. This mod should act as a baseline though so give other mods priority over this one"
So yeah, my mod edits one redswf file, however if you give it priority over Smooth GUI, it should work, according to the creator of Smooth GUI. That being said, it might completely nullify the effects of Smooth GUI, or it might work fine. I really don't know, sorry. :-D
BUT: The creator of Smooth GUI has offered to take requests, to adapt other mods to compatibility, in the comments section, if certain criteria are met. My mod should meet these criteria. So you can ask the creator of Smooth GUI to make a compatibility version (which I would explicitly allow).
Yeah it would! TW2 menus were LEAGUES ahead of the conservative menu stuff we got in TW3. The menus shown in the E3 presentation in '13 were a lot better than what we ultimately got. Guess they got scared by the extreme media coverage and went more mainstream... NEVER a good idea.
Unfortunately it won't happen. Even if I had a texture resource of TW2 menu backgrounds (which I don't), there's... issues for which I simply do not have the necessary skills (or time to build them) to get around. Notice how the reddish texture I added is half transparent, and you always see that boring black and white image of the countryside shine through? Well, it's not supposed to be, I'd rather have an opaque one without the countryside. Couldn't do it. Tried and failed. All the other similar mods have that issue as well.
BUT: This mod gets really close to TW2 coolness. Check it out:
I've always wanted to use either of those mods, but they conflict with so much, and the bug report pages scares the crap out of me. So I just go with Smooth GUI and call it a day.

Come on... Witcher III's hud is not bad at all, to be honest it's one of the best and neatest hud I'll seen for AAA games. It's just people love this game too much and played too much and get tired of its existing nicety and want some freshness

DELETEDThis should be a simple drag and drop with literally no script merging right?
When I run my game it doesn't seem to pick up anything different in the menus background however?
I am using 60FPS Smooth Gui, would that be what's causing the issues? However, again there were not merge conflicts when I ran script merge here...

I know they're rather heavy weight (why I made this), but they're also very good.
Will your mod work okay with it?

Look for W2UI in the optional files.
Maybe one day the author makes an update for NG.
