This is a Funtional Based User Interface, You will see that all windows are themed to resemble one another with their
basic border design, and semi-tranparent features. You may also notice the use of multifunctional windows throughout this
UI, this is to make the UI as versitile as possible for any and all classes, while also begin almost custom fitted
to each indivdual class.
NOTE: HOTBUTTON 4 (under the ACTIONS Sub-Menu in the EQ Button) is the MANA GAUGE
HOTBUTTON 3 (under the ACTIONS Sub-Menu in the EQ Button) is the Mini Inventory
I hope you enjoy the look, feel, and overall functionality of this UI as much as I do.

Included Optional Spellbook Upgrade,
Based Inventory Re-Instated due to graphic problems with other windows.
Modifed HOTBUTTON WIndow 4 to be a MANA-GAUGE/NUMBER/100% Window for the casters
(can have the Alpha set to 0% and will show only gauge, mana number and mana percentage with no border)
