I thought about putting the custom graphics definitions within each XML file that uses it, but decided against it. In this case because the graphics for the spell gems are used in both the Hot Button and SpellCast windows. Also, I plan on putting all custom graphics in a file called vitaee.png, and putting all the definitions within EQUI_Vitaee.xml which will be called by an include statement with a custom EQUI.xml file. Then, if a patch changes EQUI.xml, all I'll have to do is copy the new default version into my custom ui folder, and edit it by just adding the one include statement for EQUI_Vitaee.xml. This seems to be the best way of doing things. If anybody has sugesstions, please let me know.

Please note: This post will appear in two different threads as it has become relevant to both.
