If I moved the template to EQUI_Elindel.xml and renamed it WDT_Elindel it would work fine. But then if you liked my player window and dropped in another skin, you'd need EQUI_Elindel.xml and an include for that file to make it work at all.

The chat window templates aren't the problem, I can rename and move those, but there's no point if I can't find a way to define BlueIconBackground somewhere other than the animations file, and I don't think there is.

If I change the way my borders work now all I do is eliminate having a custom templates file, while the UI still breaks every time they change the animations file, and it becomes less compatible with mixing and matching, which really isn't the direction I want to go


Also any window using the new border needs it's xml moded to, a very simple change but still present, best to try to mod the TGA file for borders.
