So the overview is your eyes in EVE, but it can be a time-consuming chore to set it up.

No longer. Let's export your settings from your current installation of EVE and import them into your new EVE. It sounds easy because, oddly enough, it is.

--~~WIP~~!--

Open up your EVE client, undock, click the little white triangle in your overview and hit '''Export Overview Settings'''.

This will open up a new window. Simply select the saved presets you'd like to export, give it a file name, and hit '''Export'''.

'''Remember the file path!'''

Depending on your Windows install, the default location will be:

*''Windows XP or older:''

**X:\Documents and Settings\'''USERNAME'''\My Documents\EVE\Overview\'''FILENAME'''.xml

*''Windows Vista or 7:''

**X:\Users\'''USERNAME'''\My Documents\EVE\Overview\'''FILENAME'''.xml

Browse to this file, copy it, and '''save it''' onto your removable media of choice.

Now, on your '''Linux machine''', go to '''Applications > Wine > Browse C: Drive'''.

Click your way to "c:\users\'''USERNAME'''\My Documents\EVE" and . . .

'''OH NOES! WE DON'T HAVE AN OVERVIEW FOLDER!''' So let's create one by right-clicking the white-space and selecting '''Create Folder'''. Name it '''Overview'''. [[Image:CrFold.png|650px]]

Insert and open your removable media device (should appear on the Desktop by default). Copy over your '''FILENAME'''.xml overview file to your newly created '''Overview''' folder. [[Image:UIx.png|750px]]

Start EVE. Log in. Undock.

click the small white triangle in your overview. Click '''Import Overview Settings'''.

If you completed the above steps correctly, your file should appear in the Import window that opens. Select your file and place a checkmark beside each individual preset you'd like to '''keep'''. Click '''Import'''. [[Image:OverviewImport.png]]

'''SUCCESS!'''

This could not be easier. Open up your terminal again ('''CTRL+ALT+T''' in Ubuntu 10.04) and type:
