Custom UI Setup between characters?

[FrostyDelicious]

I'm not sure if this is already discussed somewhere but I was just curious if you were able to save the UI setup from one character to a file to use for other characters on your account. This would be great so i don't need to set it up every time i play a new character. 

 

I have seen tricks to save your UI and reset it on the same character but wasn't sure if you could use that on a different toon.

You can certainly do this.

On a character where you've set up the windows how you like them, go to options and click every "Save" button you can find.

On the new character, go to options, and click every "Load from file" button you can find.

Check out page 78 of Shenanigunner's excellent CoH/CoV technical guide. It describes the commands for saving and loading window, chat, and options settings. I used that to "standardize" the UI across my characters.

I believe a lot of those settings can be saved "as default", and so should come up automatically when a new character is created.  I've gotten that to work with most of my window customizations, except the additional power trays that I always create (beyond the default 3).  But, that is still a lot less work than it was before I saved those values to default.

If only this worked for chat tabs.

It does. Read the link from my previous post, the first item it covers is saving and loading chat settings files.
