OK, Here is a trivial change that would go a long way (IMO anyway) towards making UI's more patch resistant. Create a separate animations xml file intended purely for use by custom UI's. This would allow UI developers to get all of their textures out of the standard EQUI_Animations.xml file. For example you could make a EQUI_Cst_Animations.xml file, include it right after EQUI_Animations.xml and have the default UI versionn of the file guarenteed to be blank. Custom UI's could then mod this file instead of EQUI_Animations.xml, so as this file changes UI end users dont' have to patch the changes in by hand to get the UI working.
