Very awesome, thank you. This will greatly reduce my eye strain when reading codex entries and reviewing quest information.

You’re welcome. 
I fixed the quest journal and devotion backgrounds for the Vanilla UI. Hopefully these will look better than what I did earlier.

Hey people,
I’ve used this mod before and it worked great - default/Grim Grim UI X-Mod, so it had the big screen and looked like this as in OP post: [REL] Grim UI
I’m trying to rescue my Grim Dawn file after a malware attack/quick exit/format earlier in the year, and I can see stash problems if I don’t install this first, but can not for the life of me make it work. I open grim dawn, try to start a custom game and see no map. I can get the basics themes to work but not the default/grim GRIM UI X-Mod. I have the full game.
I’ve tried various combos but I’m currently at this folder structure: is anything glaringly wrong?
C:\Users%username%\Documents\My Games\Grim Dawn\mods
Contains:
Grim UI X-Mod
templates
C:\Users%username%\Documents\My Games\Grim Dawn\mods\contains Grim UI X-Mod
contains:
assets
database
Grim
resources
Is anything glaringly wrong there? It’s probably easier to post the directory contents here if I can, I’ll attach a txt file.Grim Dawn Directory contents.txt (54.3 KB)
Apologies if it’s messy. I’ve tried so many different combinations.
Also, should I be using 2560’s contents to overwrite the files in the prior directories on those two occasions they exist? I do have a 2560x1440 screen so would like to do that. Again, tried so many combinations.
Any help appreciated. Thanks
Absolutely glaringly wrong. Mods do not get placed in My Documents location. You need to go to the games actual installation folder, for Steam or GoG, and place it the mods folder there instead.
Keep in mind that the Xmod is an actual mod, meaning you use Custom to play it - the directions for the other stuff however is for themes, which affect the base game. Themes go in the Documents location. If you are only intending on using Xmod you would ignore anything to do with the Documents location.

This is my response to your post at Nexus. I’ll put it here as well, just in case.
Sorry you’re having such a hard time, man. From the looks of it, you’re trying to install the source files into the “mods” folder, which appears to be in the wrong location.
The source files have to be built with the Asset Manager, which re-builds the mod with any changes you’ve made.
The mods folder is typically located under the Grim Dawn install directory. Mine, for example, is
"I:\Steam\steamapps\common\Grim Dawn\mods"
Hopefully this solves your issue.

Appreciated. Mine is the GOG version so it differs; I think this caused part of the confusion. I copied the folder I had to the main directory mod folder and it appears to have allowed me to recover my character/progress, so thanks again.
Is the asset manager a necessity, because I have this working quite fine at the moment?
Also a quick couple of questions:
- Do I use the 2560 files to overwrite the files in the prior directory?
- Is there any reason why the main menu screen theme has disappeared? Possible related to the asset manager. Which part of the mod contains the main menu screen? Thanks
No, if everything is working fine.
Yes.
You either don’t have a UI theme installed or it’s not installed properly. This would not be affected by the Asset Manager. The X-Mod does not contain any main menu elements.

After a few requests, I’ve added increased sizes to the bag, inventory and smuggler grids for the Grim UI: X-Mod source files.
Here’s the X-Storage version (compiled) in case anyone is curious. Just overwrite the Grim UI: X-Mod files with the new ones.
Grim UI: X-Mod (X-Storage).zip
I’ll leave this download link here until the next patch releases. After that, you’ll need to download the source files and compile this version yourself (as I will keep those updated).

Holy crap.the stash is huge.It’s not a biggie but the stash are not aligned with the quest log when playing with a controller same with the shop.It’s not the end of the world it might just be my ocd getting the better off me 
I certainly sympathize with your OCD. 
Hello, I am back from retirement. And I’ve already made such stash with a proper adjustment for vendor’s window and notes, and so on.
Do you know how to increase a vendors storage space for an items that we’ll sell to them? What files I must change?
Welcome back!
Try:
records\ui\vendors\vendor_inventorygridconfiguration.dbr
records\ui\vendors\faction_vendor_inventorygridconfiguration.dbr
Also look at their *_mastertable.dbr files too.
To increase the number of items they sell, I think those files are:
records\creatures\npcs\merchants\merchanttbl_*.dbr
This should get you started…hopefully.
Unfortunately, without success.
I think I’ll leave it as it is in the original game. Most likely the number of items hardcoded in the game engine. In fact, this does not affect anything and is a feature, not a bug. I don’t want to increase the number of items that vendors sell - I do not want to upset the balance of the game.
By the way, new UI mod for 1920x1080 and higher screen resolutions coming soon - after patch 1.1.9.2, I suppose.
Thanks for help!
I haven’t messed with the merchants too much, so it was my best guess. Sounds like it all worked out for the best though.
I’m looking forward to seeing what you do with the UI in your upcoming mod!
Here’s a mock-up of what I intend to make the new default X-Mod storage look like. In keeping with the spirit of “more bigger, more better”, I decided to squeeze every ounce out of the grids. Unless there are any technical issues in game or a shit load of opposition, I hope to get this out in the next few days.
I realize it’s not a tremendous change, but 2 more rows should pretty much finish off 1920 x 1080’s capacity.

Very similar to my version, but I slightly changed the concept of the approach to building inventory. Don’t you think we’re doing the same thing? Maybe we should join forces in future?
Here, the main inventory is equal to that in the original game, and the five additional backpacks are huge. As a result, the total storage space is even larger than any other option.
And some more screens:
Coming soon…

Wow, man…really nice work!
Yes, I do think we’re doing exactly the same thing. And again, yes, maybe we should collaborate.
I don’t know how soon “Coming soon…” means but, I may just pause my X-Mod development for now. No sense in wasting time on it when clearly some of your concepts exceed mine!
Again, great job, man! I can’t wait to see what some of the comments are to your post.
I like the second version up in your details spoiler tag. The backpacks underneath with the larger storage area and then the smaller one to the left would probably be enough space to have any needed resource materials, skeleton keys and such.
Which for me at least, would mean less inventory management since if that space is full then all other drops would end up in the backpacks directly !
