Can't do that since the window parts that make up the default windows are static template tags for the unskinned windows.

I think we're not on the same page here.
- All the windows use a <DrawTemplate>
- All <DrawTemplate>'s are in EQUI_Templates.xml
- All <DrawTemplate>'s use graphics defined in EQUI_Animations.xml
- Simply add custom <TextureInfo>'s and <Ui2DAnimation>'s to EQUI_Templates.xml and then have the default <DrawTemplate>'s use the custom <Ui2DAnimation>'s
- This will make all default windows use your custom <Ui2DAnimation>'s because they use the modified <DrawTemplate>'s and this way you avoid having to change EQUI_Animations.xml but get the same effect
The only <Ui2DAnimation>'s that I can think of that are special in EQUI_Animations.xml that are used directly by the game and not used through a <DrawTemplate> or loaded by a screen piece by name are:
<Ui2DAnimation item = "A_DefaultCursor">
<Ui2DAnimation item = "A_CursorResizeEW">
<Ui2DAnimation item = "A_CursorResizeNESW">
<Ui2DAnimation item = "A_CursorResizeNS">
<Ui2DAnimation item = "A_CursorResizeNWSE">
<Ui2DAnimation item = "A_CursorDrag">
<Ui2DAnimation item = "BuffIcons">
<Ui2DAnimation item = "A_SpellIcons">
<Ui2DAnimation item = "BlueIconBackground">
<Ui2DAnimation item = "RedIconBackground">
<Ui2DAnimation item = "A_SpellGems">
<Ui2DAnimation item = "A_DragItem">
<Ui2DAnimation item = "A_DividerLeft">
<Ui2DAnimation item = "A_DividerMiddle">
<Ui2DAnimation item = "A_DividerRight">
<Ui2DAnimation item = "A_DividerVertical">
And I'm not even 100% sure about the ones past the 6 cursor <Ui2DAnimation>'s, but anything not listed there is used by name in the XML and so can be bypassed elsewhere in some way or another.
Anyway, if you decided to scrap modified templates being applied to the default windows, this is a moot point.

2. you make me feel like i should come back to EQ... this UI make me want to play ! (damn EQ break ! never worked for me)

I've been playing for 5 years. Every 9 months I take a 3 month break, usually around Christmas/New Years. I only have 1 char; total play time 340 days, 5 hours, and 13 minutes. Modding the UI has been the reason I've gotten back into the game after a 3 month break twice, so if this UI has you interested so much, come back and play. What's the worst that could happen? ^_^
