Copying layouts?
 

Any way to do this or do I have to set up each individual character UI separately?

If you search your main EQ directory for your characters name you'll see he has 2 ini files associated. You can copy those to other characters

On Green they are:

UI_CharName_P1999Green.ini (This will be the UI layout)
CharName_P1999Green.ini (This has macros/hotbuttons, friends list etc)

Make sure you completely log out of Everquest when you do that. In my experience, if I don't do that, the game will rewrite some of the files.

This, altho one is for the layout and the other one is for the Hot bar names, links, etc...
