Skills Preview is a Valheim mod that adds compact HUD widgets for your chosen skills. It gives you a quick glance at each skill's level and progress without ever opening the character window.
Each widget shows:
Lv.45),72.00%),SkillsPreview.dll into:<game_directory>/BepInEx/plugins/
Search for Skills Preview in the manager and click "Install".
L by default).The plugin includes a built-in settings panel accessible directly from the skills window. You can change the following without leaving the game:
Numeric settings (sizes, font sizes, spacing, scale, etc.) are adjusted with sliders directly in the panel; position X/Y still use text input fields.
Every option has a ↺ button to reset it individually, or you can hit Reset all to restore all defaults at once.
Settings are saved automatically to:
<game_directory>/BepInEx/config/godzki.skills_preview.cfg
You can edit this file in any text editor. Each option has a comment explaining what it does. Changes made manually take effect after restarting the game.
