You mean the layout of the windows? That's saved in your UI_toon_server.ini file. You can just save a copy of that and rename it for each of your other toons you want to use it on.

You cannot be logged into the game when you do it.

Also, in the next few weeks, SoE will be adding a command to the game that will let you copy the UI settings from any character to another.

wish they'd fix the "force every window on screen" bug NOW instead of bundling it up with the new improvements. so annoying everytime i log in to move windows to where they should be (especially when boxing more than one account)

Copy Layout Window: Typing either /copylayout or pressing the Copy Layout button within the General tab of the Options window will bring up a list of all your UI_name_server.ini files with each layout stored in them (along with the ones stored in defaults.ini).

Selecting one will copy the layout you selected over the current layout, including any custom skin, viewport and alpha/color/fade settings that might be in use.

This can also be done directly (for those with a custom UI that does not contain the new window) by typing "/copylayout resolution INI_filename" where resolution is in the form "1280x1024" or "Windowed" for the windowed layout.

INI_filename is optional, and defaults to the currently logged in character's UI INI file.

Changes are instantly saved on the current character.

In other words:

* Character 1: You move windows around where you want them.

* (Log out Character 1)

* (Log in Character 2)

* Type /copylayout, or press the Copy Layout button within the General tab of the Options window and copy the layout from Character 1, to Character 2.

Another way is to make changes to a UI file and rename it so you can use that layout as a base.
I have these when I use different resolutions for example:
