When you position a window inside the game, the size and position are stored automatically in the ui_<charactername>_<server>.ini file. Modifying that file manually is an exercide in futility as it will get overwritten if someone moves a window. When you customize the xml pieces for your UI, you should focus on how they look, then log in to the game and position them like you want. Some UIs have pieces that 'interlock', and some pieces are independent and can be positioned however the user wants, and may not necesarily be the way you intended. When you release your UI (Assuming you intend to share it) then giving them a screenshot will allow them to position everything the same as you intended. Another option (trick, if you will) is to include your ui_<charactername>_<server>.ini file, and have the user rename it to their character name so that it will already be positioned as you intended. Trying to 'program' positioning is not very reliable.

Just a note, anything in the default directory will always get replaced when you patch, so changing anything in that folder won't do any good. Any file that you want to edit, make a copy into your custom UI folder and then modify it. Don't put any file in your UI folder that you don't modify. EQ automatically loads it from default if it is not found in your custom UI folder.
