Description

This mod changes the icons in builds such that the item names are hidden, showing a square with just the icon instead. It only affects builds, the category and search tabs still show the full item. Items are expanded when hovering over them. 

Pick one of the two files depending on whether you want dark mode or not.

This mod should be mostly compatible with QoL Lock if this mod is placed above QoL Lock in the load order (if QoL Lock is pak47_dir.vpk, this mod should be pak46_dir.vpk or above). This will break the Minimal Shop setting in QoL Lock, as this is an intended replacement for it.
