Can you recommend some mods to do that? I mean just to improve the user interface, because as a new player I want a vanilla experience but the UI is pushing me back. I was looking for some bit the ones I found (like Floris) modify the base game too much.
maybe this you'll like

Thx but does this just change the menu colors? my main problem with the game is that the UI is like a page for any aspect of the game instead of one big integrated thing like Bannerlord as example. this means if i want to be aware of many things at the same time during the game i need to click in like 5 different pages of stuff with a n clunky and outdated design, and the general menus and font dosen't help as much to improve the experience.
anyways thank you :)

You won't find an integrated, optimized, UI that is finely honed to provide quick and easy access to all information the player may need at any time the player may think they need it... When you do find that, in any game, let us know. :) But, for Warband, the UI is pretty much what you're going to get "as it is" in any mod. It's not quite as bad as it looks... Once you get used to it, its serviceable.

I've never seen any mod that radically changed the UI and I think some elements are behind the exe, anyway. Text display changes will have to be done manually - Just do a quick search. However, size changes effect all text displays, like battle messages too, so you'll have to deal with that if you make changes.

One thing to note is that it does Log all the messages and news. That is very helpful. But, they're in two different menus according to the class of message, and that's a bit frustrating. :) Anyway - That message log is probably the most valuable dynamic stream of info that you can cull for things that aren't blatantly pushed to you. The other is the location/faction/character lists since you can drill-down each entry and click on all the relevant hotlinked info panes.

PS: The foundation for the game is over ten years old and it wasn't exactly done by a AAA house at that time, either. Still, it does work just fine when you get used to it.

Note: On what many mods do - Most mods, especially full conversions, will put mod options in your "Camp" menu in order to get around the UI conventions. So, you'd basically need to order your character's army to "Camp" in order to get access to those mod options and customized settings. Keep that in mind for later if you get lost in the UI and can't find a mod's options. :)

The standard Diplomacy mod is vanilla with a lot of UI conveniences, like not having to chase down the Guildmaster every time you enter town, and a Faction Relations screen that shows all of the factions, how they are getting along, how many fiefs they have, how many of those are unassigned, how many lords they have, and how many of them are captured. That's about as close to all info in one place that you'll get in this game.

There are a few mods based on Diplomacy with similar names that make extra changes, so I apologize if finding the original is a bit tricky.
