Here are the default UI and settings paths in your Steam install:

Install root: ~/.local/share/Steam/steamapps/common/Everquest F2P


Default UI paths

EverQuest splits UI into two parallel trees, both keyed off skin names in the UI INI:

Setting Default value Path
UISkin Default uifiles/default/
AtlasSkin Default uiresources/default/

uifiles/default/ — classic UI skin

  • 173 EQUI_*.xml window/layout files (e.g. EQUI_PlayerWindow.xml, EQUI_HotButtonWnd.xml)
  • Textures: .tga, .dds
  • Subfolders: loadscreens/, overseer/

uiresources/default/ — newer UI resources

  • HTML/JS/CSS for modern panels (index.html, index.js, main.css, cohtml.js)
  • Subfolders: assets/images/, fonts/, img/, windows/
  • uifiles/classic_spell_icons/ — alternate spell icon set only (not a full skin)

Custom skins go under uifiles/<SkinName>/ and are selected with UISkin=<SkinName> in the character UI INI (your repos ui/install.sh script targets uifiles/isuldor/ this way).


Settings paths

All of these live in the game install root (not under ~/.config or similar):

File / folder Purpose
eqclient.ini Global client settings: video, audio, graphics, [Options], [TextColors], [KeyMaps], etc.
defaults.ini Shipped factory defaults for UI window layouts and positions (reset reference)
UI_<Char>_<Server>_<Class>.ini Per-character UI state: window positions, fades, and UISkin / AtlasSkin
<Char>_<Server>_<Class>.ini Per-character game settings: hotbars, combat, abilities, etc.
_characters.ini Character registry (Character0=Isuldor,bertox on your install)
userdata/ Address book, ignore list, guild notes (AddressBook.txt, IgnoreList.txt, GN_*.txt)

LaunchPad / login UI (separate from in-game UI):

File Purpose
eqlsClient.ini Launcher URLs and client config
eqlsUIConfig.ini LaunchPad window positions
eqlsPlayerData.ini LaunchPad player data
LaunchPad.ini / LaunchPad-user.ini LaunchPad settings

Your current character

For Isuldor on bertox:

  • UI layout: UI_Isuldor_bertox_PAL.iniUISkin=Default, AtlasSkin=Default
  • Character settings: Isuldor_bertox_PAL.ini

So right now youre on the stock UI at uifiles/default/ and uiresources/default/, with layout/state stored in those per-character INI files in the install root.
