Yeah, there's 6, and their format is flexible. Nothing in them critical to the window working, and you can include them in your mod (and tell people to get EQ2MAP), but even if they don't follow instructions, it won't cause them any UI troubles (they just won't have EQ2MAP maps).

2 Things clenched doing it this way:
- After telling a friend how to set up EQ2MAP with Zonx's UI, they didn't follow some instructions and wound up with EQ2s UI not fully loading (lots of black space, no 3D render).
- Check out the massive OnShow for the main page object in eq2ui_mainhud_map.xml. It's going to be changing anytime we get new overlays set up and really need to stay available for me to edit.

Attaching the new (and final) version of my version of Zonx's Fetish UI style files. Just for newer examples.

----- Edit -----
- window_backdrop.xml is where I suggest most of the code to rearrange the window go.
- window_frame.xml has limited usefulness for mods, and I mostly expect it to be used to adjust the look of the frame (gasp!).
- window_options.xml is where I suggest most functionality (not graphical) mods go. My close on escape, and mouse-over-only icons mods will use this XML and should allow for some mix-and-matching of look and function.
- window_pathfinder.xml doesn't actually have to be used at all, and should allow for some mix-and-matching. The current loc + pathfinder mod sues this XML as an example.
- window_quests.xml though meant for Eloa's quest plug-in, other authors "could" do stuff with it. It's pretty flexible and gets a Visibility call in the first OnShow of the main page so could get some initialization code put in it.
- window_titlebar.xml contains a few buttons and will likely be heavily modded for style sets. This one is mostly for looks, and neat little button functions.
