XP Percents and Gauges

I want to learn how to modify my XML files to show percents on top of gauges (like the HP/Mana/End defaults).

I've been playing around with my PlayerWindow and have found out how to increase its size, and how to add the percent value of Experience by including these code blocks in the right place:

Quote:

<Label item ="Player_XPPercLabel">
<ScreenID>XPPerLabel</ScreenID>
<EQType>26</EQType>
<RelativePosition>true</RelativePosition>
<Location>
<X>50</X>
<Y>91</Y>
</Location>
<Size>
<CX>40</CX>
<CY>12</CY>
</Size>

<TextColor>
<R>255</R>
<G>255</G>
<B>255</B>
</TextColor>
<NoWrap>true</NoWrap>
<AlignCenter>false</AlignCenter>
<AlignRight>false</AlignRight>
</Label>
...
<Pieces>Player_XPPercLabel</Pieces>

However, I can't for the life of me figure out how to get the gauges to show up there. So far everything I've tried has messed the UI up so that it won't even load. This is what it looks like at the moment PlayerWindow. Can anyone give me a hint about where to go from here?

You'll most likely have to adjust the locations inside your window, though.

Do non-default UI pieces somehow have to be compatible with one another? I've modified EQUI_PlayerWindow to show an EXP and AAXP gauge and percent, put it in a ui folder labeled Test, and tried it out. It works like a charm. Then I modified the EQUI_Inventory to show the EXP and AAXP percents, put it in a ui folder labeled Inventory, and tried it out. It also worked great. When I copied the EQUI_Inventory file into the Test folder and typed /loadskin Test in game, neither of my modified files were actually modified (my UI reverted to default). Also, when I subsequently deleted EQUI_Inventory from the Test folder (leaving it again with just EQUI_PlayerWindow) and then typed /loadskin Test in game, my modified PlayerWindow still wouldn't show up (again the UI was default). What could I be doing wrong?
