Default Title Bar and border help

I'm an extreme newb when it comes to the editing of xml files and such.
What im trying to do is im trying to modify the default ui borders and title bars for all the windows.
With the default UI the title bars and borders aren't to my liking, everything else is.
What i am trying / want to do is to change the borders on the windows / bags etc to be squared off corners instead of the rounded corners and to make the titlebars also squared off and not rounded.
I've spent about 1 hour searching for posts that may have already asked the question but couldn't find what i need to know exactly.

i want to change the rounded corners and rounded titlebars to squared off so they fit nice and snug againste one another instead of having spaces in between them. any help would be appreciated

There are actually three different types of titlebar/border used in the default interface. They are defined in the EQUI_Templates.xml file. They are WDT_Def, WDT_Rounded, and WDT_RoundedNoTitle.

If you look inside WDT_Rounded in the templates file, you'll see a Border section and a Titlebar section. That's where it specifies what graphics are used. You'll want to define some new graphics of about the same size, and then edit those sections to use your graphics. New graphics are usually defined in EQUI_Animations, but in your case it would be better to define yours at the beginning of the EQUI_Templates file.

==========

However, there is a second and easier way. You could edit the graphics file instead of the xml. If you look at A_RoundedFrameLeft, A_RoundedFrameRight, A_RoundedFrameTitleMiddle, and such in the EQUI_Animations file, you'll see that they all refer to window_pieces01.tga. You could edit a portion of window_pieces01 so that those corners look less rounded.
