Unread Books Glow by duggelz

Books which you have not read yet will have a visible glow. When you
read a book for the first time, its glow will disappear. All copies
of the same title are considered the same book, so once you've read
one "Cats of Skyrim", you've read them all.

== Features ==

* NEW! Recognizes all books your character has previously read (SKSE 1.6.8)
* Unread books glow and have an "*" before their name
* Uses SKSE and SkyUI if installed, but doesn't require them
* Tracks books from any mod or DLC
* Spell tomes are green, skill books are red, quest books and regular
books are various shades of blue
* Settings configured in-game via spell or SkyUI

== Install ==

Nexus Mod Manager: Click the "Download with Manager" button. Once
it's downloaded, in the Nexus Mod Manager, click on the "Mods" tab,
and double-click on "Unread Books Glow" to activate it.

Steam Workshop: Click the green "Subscribe" button. You may also need
to start the Skyrim launcher, click on "Data Files", and make sure
that "UnreadBooksGlow.esp" is listed and has a checkmark in the
columns labeled "Load?" and "Subscribed?".

If you have SKSE version 1.6.8 or better installed, several features
of this mod will work better. If you have SkyUI version 3.1
installed, you can use the Mod Configuration Menu to access this mod's
options. Both are highly recommended.

== Upgrade ==

If you're upgrading from a previous version, you might see odd
behavior until you enter a new location.

== Uninstall ==

Move your character to an interior location that has no books. Save
your game and exit Skyrim.

Nexus Mod Manager: Click on the "Mods" tab, double-click on "Unread
Books Glow" to deactivate it, then click "Delete".

Steam Workshop: Click the green "Unsubscribe" button from the Steam
Workshop page. Then start the Skyrim launcher, click on "Data Files",
highlight "UnreadBooksGlow.esp", and click "Delete Selected".

== Limitations ==

* If you don't have SKSE version 1.6.8 or above, books you've read
before installing this mod are not recorded. You will have to read
them again.
* Only the nearest 100 books are affected in any location.
* Books in containers and merchant inventories are usually not
recognized as unread.
* Quest books added by DLC and other mods are treated as "plain" books.
Spell tomes and skill books should work fine.

== Configuration ==

If you have SkyUI installed, press "Escape", click on "Mod
Configuration", and then "Unread Books Glow". You will see a page
with various options.

If you do not have SkyUI installed, open the in-game "Magic" menu,
select "Powers", and select "{Unread Books Glow Settings}". Then exit
the menu. Your character will appear to have a spell readied. Cast
the spell as normal (usually just clicking the left mouse button) and
a settings menu will appear. It has less options than the SkyUI menu.

== Compatibility ==

This mod should automatically handle books added by DLC and other
mods. However, there might be conflicts with other mods that change
the behavior of books in general. If you find something noteworthy
that does or doesn't work, let me know and I will add it here.

Compatible:
* Better Skill and Quest Books Names
* Improved Skill Books
* Non-Automatic Skill Books

Not Compatible:
* Unlimited Bookshelves

== Distribution ==

This file is available on the Skyrim Nexus and the Steam Workshop.

== Translations ==

This mod is currently not translated. You can help fix this. Go to
the interface translation directory, and find the file matching your preferred
language. Edit the file, translating the English words on the right
hand side to the equivalent in your language. Then send the modified
file to me. The file uses the SKSE localization format.

So far, I've gotten translations for German, Italian and Czech. Thanks! They will show up in the next version.

You will need SKSE and SkyUI installed to see translations. I will
not be be using the older method of creating multilingual Skyrim mods.

Previously, this mod contained translations contributed by the
following people:

Czech version by miraclefreak
English version by me
French version by brundlemouche
