lol no one is as smart as me!!!!!!!
(you don't sound like an idiot)
Naw, but seriously...back in the old EQ2 days i wanted to mod. I started on in UIBuilder and worked my way up, now I know .xml. Trust me, I'm not that great. gm9 is the great one, some of the things he has in ProfitUI I can't even follow. Crazy man.
Just mess around in UIBuilder, you don't need any classes or anything. If you just start from there you should get the main concept of it in weeks.
