NOTICE:
There have been required changes to the inventory window that will crash the eq2 client if not made. Authors please read this thread for solutions here.
Interface Change Notes:
The character portrait in the inventory window now has a plain background and no longer follows the animations that your character makes in the game world. You can use your mouse to rotate your character around. Why make such a change? We're keeping that under the cloak of secrecy for now...
The option that controls the number pad for text input should once again be operational.
Double-clicking on an item in your Overflow slot will transfer that item to your inventory instead of opening the Persona window.
The guild recruiting icon in the guild window will no longer follow the right edge of the window.
Attempting to attune an item in your house vault should no longer give an error about not being in a bank transaction.
The "kick from raid" context menu command has been changed to "kick group from raid" to better reflect its functionality.
The /kickfromraid command has been renamed to /kickgroupfromraid.
Special Notes:
LU27 brings some localization changes to the interface XML. You will notice a md5sum looking number (example: :d11b29863cfa7463 next to each piece of display text. I talked to SOE_Bobble to get more information about this...

Custom skins can remove the tags or reuse tags for the same text to have the user interface translated.
The following is a compare between the old default interface (old 9.5.06 on the left) and the new default interface (9.6.06 LU26 on the right) changes are in red. Use the context & line numbers to help find your way to make the changes needed to your custom interface.
