If you didn't already, copy the "default" directory in $everquest$\uifiles\, and save it under a name you will remember, like "myprettyui"

Nice post!

Just one comment. You no longer need to copy the ENTIRE default directory to your "myprettyui" directory. You ONLY need the file that you are changing. Several patches ago they fixed this problem and now the UI will first read from your "loadskin" directory and then from the default directory for any pieces not defined in your "loadskin" dir.

This makes it very nice and a LOT less cluttered. You can place only the files you are changing in the "myprettyui" directory. This also makes it MUCH easier to deal with UI patch changes, as you no longer need to recopy items from the default to your myprettyui dir after the patch, they will have already been updated in the default dir.
