Frequently asked questions

How do I get the DarkMenu theme to actually show up?
The mod applies its RPG theme to the main menu automatically once it's loaded, so you don't need to enable anything in-game. If you still see the vanilla menu, check that the mod is actually loading in your mod loader's mod list and that no resource pack is overriding the menu textures.
Does DarkMenu change anything besides the main menu?
It also restyles the options screens and the button text to match the RPG look, and it replaces the death screen with a Dark Souls-inspired one. In-game HUD, inventory, and world content are left alone.
How do I change the DarkMenu background to my own image?
You replace the mod's background texture with your own image, keeping the same file name, resolution, and format the mod expects. If the image doesn't appear, the usual cause is a mismatched file name or an unsupported format.
Can I turn off the Dark Souls death screen but keep the menu theme?
The menu theme and the death screen are separate parts of the mod, so you can configure or disable the death screen without losing the main menu overhaul. Check the mod's config file for the death screen toggle.
