This is very helpful, thank you! One request though, could you please define some of the terms you used for total newbs? Specifically, what exactly do you mean by "page" "frame" and "screen" for starters. I'm also having a really hard time wrapping my mind around what bits of the stuff I see are referred to in the various tutorials and xml files. When I see "spell gem" referred to, does that mean the "picture" of a spell gem that I see at such and such coordinate on the .tga file? Or is it a compilation of a number of "frames" like the familiar picture, plus a picture of a greyed out gem, plus an image of the slot? Are the lines I see around every window in the EQ UI an element separate from the window background? UGH my head hurts! If you can offer any clarity at all I will thank you again
