A word on the UI Builder, I would like to learn how to use that thing but I just don't get it. and understand the controls or how to make the preview look like it will in game or how to add anything to it. I suppose I could read the faq on it or the instructions and perhaps the comic while I'm at it.

At least with my notepad full of code I am able to pick it apart and at least find what it is I am looking for. Now if I could only learn what to to with it once I find it I might make an ok modder.
The very basic thing of UI builder is this: Never open any file except eq2ui.xml with it. Open that, then find the file you actually want in the tree view on the left. Then use the tabs on the right pane to select the appropriate area (ie if you're looking for eq2ui_MainHUD_Persona.xml, select the MainHUD tab). Drag other stuff out of the way if necessary.

All the parts of the window are child objects of the window object (use the little + to expand). The box at the bottom of the left window is all the properties of that object -- be it a window, a piece of text, etc.
