new default ui

[chop]

i really like the new default ui for eq but it has one thing i dont like and it is the gold. so i thought i found the dds files that the gold was in and i changed it to silver. now this is where i am having problems. i save my files and start eq2 to check my changes but for some reason the files i changed download again and it puts them back to gold. is there a way i can make and keep everything silver for the new default ui?
thanks for the help
