Overview

This page describes the XML attributes for the XUI containers. They are used by the XUI files in the \skins\default\xui folders.

Many XUI elements share the same attributes. Rather than repeatedly describing them, we just list their names here and describe them at Skinning HowTo/Common XUI attributes.
