Looking for help/advice

OK after reading the following quote let me say that the intention of this post is to ask for help, advice and or ideas on how to make the image file that follows the quote below to become a reality.

Taking the 2nd point first, the new UI allows modifications to the APPEARANCE of the application. It does not allow any changes to the functionality.

Examples of stuff that we simply CAN'T MOD at this time...

1) CLOCKS - real time/game time display of clocks
2) webpages - using the STMLBOX like for the help
3) Spellbook - showing all spells
4) Guauges can only be horizontal
5) Timers / animations cannot be reset or restarted http://www.eqgui.com/showthread.php?s=&threadid=2346
6) autoequip cannot be moved to other windows
7) Location (/loc) is not available to be shown or used.

I highlighted #7 because it is the specific issue that I am trying to work around. Look at the proposed Compass Window image that I generated below and you should be able to get the idea of what I am trying to acomplish.

Remember the image file is only the proposed compass window I would like to try to build. I am asking for help however since I am still rather new to XML programming, and dont have a ton of skill/knowledge right now, but a great desire to learn. Any and all help, advice and/or ideas will be greatly helpful. I am providing my email link [email protected] for ease of conveying extensive messages.
