Can one of you knowledgable folks give me a good "basic" interface file to examine? I'm trying to learn the basics of UI modding ... and would like a simple example file. I'm IT-literate, and I'm hoping that I can examine the file, and figure out what the syntax and language means.

Who knows, maybe I'm way off-base and it's much too complicated for me to learn this way, but at least I'd like to try.
The suggestion doesn't have to be from the "standard" UI, it can be from a Cosmos add-on. I do have interface extractor utility from Blizzard, so you can refer to these files if you think one of them is the easiest example.

Thanks in advance

Easiest thing to do is just open one of the cosmos files, there's even an example addon in cosmos. Also, you can check out www.lua.org for scripting language info.

I knew about the Wiki, but that thread with the two tutorials really helped me get started.

Anyway, I just wanted to post here to let you know I did come back to see if anyone answered, and I'm well on my way to learning a bit about modifying the UI.

THANKS!
