Skinner: Type "tm" in the console and it will remove all menu and text overlay that come from the game.

As for adaptation and DoF then that depends entirely on which set of shaders (enbeffect.fx etc.) you use. For adaptation there is both an ENB version and the skyrim version.. and files can come with one or both enabled. Also palette textures depend on it if used... In general if you remove adaptation you cannot gain what it provides.. since it is a dynamic and not static effect. You can still produce some nice results without it, but overall you will always have a more "dull" setting since you do not have the same dynamic range to play in.
