Ouch that post hurts my eyes

Important changes:

TalTal your first line is backwards I think, ColorStyles.xml was added to eq2ui.xml and the TabStyles/buttonlist were removed.

Clock removed from eq2ui_mainhud.xml, eq2ui_mainhud_tutorial.xml added.
Looks like the "Clock" is now on the upper-right corner of the big map window.

eq2ui_inventory_inventory.xml removed from eq2ui_inventory.xml

Experience window is now a huge window that includes the "EQII button" on the left and the StationCash button on the right.
The "EQII button" still exists as it's own window however.
There are 5 icon slots on each side that open common windows such as Guild, Battlegrounds, Map, Community, etc

The persona window XML file is still the same name, but this is the new "Character" window. This is where the inventory window's data was moved to.

Many graphical changes. Lots of colors changed to red, some blue still exists. Tabs and several buttons are now have rounded edges, this includes some of the frames.
I recommend backing up the current Live UI folder if you wish to save any of the graphics for you UI.

Most window xml changes are minor, but you'll want to start with the ones listed in the patch notes specifically.

Files removed:
eq2ui_buttonlist.xml
eq2ui_inventory_inventory.xml
eq2ui_mainhud_clock.xml
eq2ui_TabStyles.xml
images/clock.dds
images/map_starting_city_de.dds
images/map_starting_city_fr.dds
images/map_starting_city_jp.dds
images/map_starting_city_ru.dds

DynamicData:

no longer includes the LFG object in group Group_x
new "Subtitle" data in maintained window for Spell_x
Spirit rank (out dated DD?) data removed

Updated post with some screenshots attached

That is going to be changed -- the clock window will be kept in, just not visible by default for new players.

Ah okay. I don't remember the clock ever being visible by default in the first place, lol.
