I've tried adding windows, it doesn't work.

To be honest, it's not that hard to program the interface to be completely independent of what windows are where.
It's just requires the engine to be completely object independent. Don't display anything unless there's a tag for it. Add call tags for buttons, rather than hard coding them. Use ScreenID names for the eqclient.ini values it stores (x,y and size).

EQ was hard coded in spots it really shouldn't have been.

Hopfully VI will see this and might fix it later on. Alan did mention the patch was the intro release of the new UI. The beginings of rolling it out. Maybe there's more being worked on?
