Default Help with knowledge about UI files/idea

Hi all,

I am a boxer, playing multiple accounts at the same time.

I would like to have almost identical UIs for my different toons, and for that I came up with an idea:

I would write a batch script (.bat file) that out of files that are fragments of the resulting UI file concatenates a UI file for each toon. By having some of the fragments being shared, and others unique, I would be able to have a number of things being the same for all toons, for example size and position of the target window, ditto the spell diamonds bar, etc et .

I could then make a change to all the toons by changing in a shared “UI fragment file”, run the batch script, and reload UI.

It would also make it easier to port to different computers, and to come back from breaks in the game, I would be able to store batch files and fragment files in some online repository.

Does this sounds feasible?

Is there a certain order that the text blocks in the UI files has to follow, or can I move that arround, to reduce need for having a lot of smaller fragments?

If I delete a UI file, can the system make a “minimal” file for me? (approach to remove clutter from UI file fragments without having to interpret each line of configuration when I start out).

Thanks in advance for any input.
