This mod makes it easier to read cluttered inventories. Everything usable and useful has backgrounds and previously undistinguishable from trash items have mini-icons fitting their purpose.
1. "Mark Books as Read" native support (you need it installed) - instead of original uncommon rarity frame/background for read books, mod adds original subtle background and "tick" for a read book. Unread will have slight darker background. Any scroll, including common will have background, scroll of revivify got rare rarity frame as it should be.
2. Grenades are easier to find among potions and arrows with similar icons (like Bottle and Grease Bottle), throwables like Spider Sack or Heavy Stones won't be lost as well with mini-icon for them.
3. Same for drinks and alchemy components - they are distinguishable from the junk with similar icons:
4. Instruments are easier to differentiate from clutter and weapons:
and vanity items from the armor:
5. All sorts of usable items (lockpicks, shovels, kits, soul coins etc) and some combinable items (like cultists spear or a drow staff parts) will stand out thanks to custom background and mini-icon:
6. Also arrows, story-related items and artifact-rarity items added by other mods.
Beside main mod, there is Addon, which adds more categories with numerous items (like food and dyes) in performance-friendly way. They are separated to make updating/maintaning easier as well as for convenience of those who might not want inventory opening time slightly affected by main Better Inventory UI mod.
