Frequently asked questions

Why are my menus still the default gray after enabling Black Keys?
Open your Resource Packs menu and check the load order on the right side. Another active pack is likely overriding the UI textures, so move Black Keys to the very top of the selected list and apply the changes.
Can I use Black Keys with a block texture pack?
Yes, you can run it alongside full world texture packs while keeping the dark mode interface. Just place Black Keys above your main texture pack in the active resource pack list so its menu and button styles take priority.
Does this pack only change the main title screen?
No, in addition to repainting the main menu background and buttons, it applies a dark style to in-game menus. Your standard survival inventory, the creative inventory, and the advancements screen will all have dark backgrounds.
Does Black Keys change how blocks, items, or tools look?
No, this pack only recolors menu backgrounds, UI screens, and buttons. All of your building blocks, items, and tools keep their normal textures, or the textures of whatever pack you load underneath it.
