Worked on various things and made little headway. Also crashed a lot because refresh times on p99 are horrible. Here's what I've got the item display window to look like:

It's a little wonky because I sized the graphic proportionally but the window itself is the wrong size.
Notes -
* I got the spellbook to work...sort of. Unfortunately it hides beneath the Selector window (the portion of the UI that holds the Help, Options, and View buttons on the left side), so to get it to show up you have to click on a spell gem to cast, or hit alt+s twice. Once it's on top, you can't touch any of the Selector window buttons. This has to do with window layering, which I do not now how to fix just yet. I know you can layer stuff within a window, but decreeing what order the windows sit on loading is beyond me.
The issue with it is that some buttons only work in certain windows. The reason the spellbook button didn't work before is because someone put it in the Selector window instead of the CastSpellsWnd file (your spell gems, essentially). Good idea, but the client hates anything remotely reasonable so it won't work. Since it can't be in the Selector window, the spellbook goes in a separate window that will sit on top of the Selector window and render the other buttons unusable unless it's hidden or tucked under.
* I can't figure out how to resize the item display window or have it show up in a single location. I also can't lock it in place or prevent 4 of the windows from opening. I can keep it from being resized. Using alt+right click brings up a window that sticks around until I click the invisible close button. I may be able to get it to close if I click outside the window, but haven't figured out how that works yet. It may be hard-coded into the client. I also don't know how to get the item name to display with the details because it doesn't have an EQType I can use. The only reason it shows up right now is because I let the window have a title bar.
* The toon I'm doing this on is running out of money for food D: Klok Wyga needs to lower her prices on earthworm munch! /riots
