lol, Both your large bag and your 3/4 bag made it........ as well as Depechenode's 3/4 version of your mod with the title and button mouseovers. My current package I took his title button mod, and also added it to your Large bag mod, then added Deathbane's bag lock to both sizes. so i have both sizes avaialable as options, I personaly use the 3/4 size and have it as default. ( btw nice bag mod thanks )

Predomiantly color is controlled thru the DDS files. in the case of periditions UI look in C:\Program Files\Sony\EverQuest II\UI\Custom\images Custom being the directory name where you store the mod.
Look for a file named perdigraphics.dds this is the template from which the UI pulls its graphics, if you change colors on this file, it changes to bulk of the UI. additionaly periditions bottom uses the incubi silver outline files for borders and such. Looking at Fetishis nightfall screenshots, it would be my guess that not only does he have a dedicated graphic similar to periditions in function, but that he also tinted a borders file and a background file to get that nice purple effect. assuming you wanted periditions main Graphics for the UI and the color from Nightfall, it would probably be easiest to acheive by using photoshop or Paintshop pro, to tint the existing peridition files. adding general mods such as the bag mod Ger mentions above to a "Compete UI" is not too bad in and of itself. Merging Nightfall and Bottom would be difficult at best. Fetish does a lot of interacting between his modules and pulling one piece out to use can be difficult, for my own needs i have found it is better to study his code then try and incorporate some of his neat ideas into my own mods, rather that try to pull a whole module from his.
basicly as a short recap - go to the immages directory under your custom UI folder and tint border, background and main graphic parts as needed to acheive your desired color. ( Mackgee has uploaded a set of tinted .DDS's for Peridition Bottom V8 already you might wanna try )
