    I would personally set up your UI, via mouse and keyboard broadcasting, across your five accounts.
    That way, it should be identical for one toon on each of your accounts.

    A lot of your information is stored on an account basis.
    So if it is correct for one toon on the account, it is correct for all of them.

    Some of the information is stored on a per character basis.
    If there's an option to save a configuration, and then load it with another character, that should be used.

    If that's not the case, you can frequently copy the saved variables and paste for the new character.
    There is WTF > Account > Account Name > Saved Variables, which is account wide stuff.
    And WTF > Account > Account Name > Server Name > Character Name, which is character specific stuff.

    Unfortunately, some addons need to be configured on each toon, but there aren't a lot of those.

    I would like to do this, but I have now 3 teams of five that I play so I'd have to repeat this three times.

    Plus something weird has happened with my main team since the 4.01 patch. The screen/resolution settings all appear the same, but something must be different on three of the screens, because when I turn on repeating in ISBoxer to select, let's say a random dungeon where I want them all to accept yes at the same time, three of the images for that pop up box are somewhat larger than the main screen (Paladin) and my first window (top left corner of four) on my second monitor. I've searched and searched to try and find the discrepency in the VIDEO settings while in game and cannot find where they are different.

    Plus right now my UI is okay, but I want to make one that is perfect, but not on my main account since I don't want to tinker with that while it's working okay.

    My desire is to get on to one of my level 1 bank toons and start the UI process with that toon until it's perfect. Then I wanted to hopefully export it to all my toons so they are all exactly the same, without a lot of hassle. It sounds like there is no perfect way to do that (and there should be!), so for right now I'll just tweak one of my level one toons until I have what I want and slowly start changing them all over.

    Thanks for your replies!
    They are always appreciated.

    What Ualaa and I described with the WTF folder will do almost exactly what you're saying. After you copy the premade setup from your bank toon's wtf files to the rest of the characters, you're only a couple clicks away.

    For the windows not matching up, check your UI scale in video settings or wherever it is (still at work). I had the same problem after that patch and I think that was the culprit.
