UI stands for User Interface. These files control the visible interface you use in the game. UI's are basically a modified XML file. Most of the properties of the UI's are known, but the main IDs which link the functions of the various things together are not fully known yet.

The GID is different to GIDs on other files. Most UI files GID are 96A006B0. But if the UI is for a specific screen resolution then you put the screen resolution as the GID. Many of the Maxis UI files including the main mayor panel is designed for a 1024x768 or larger resolution but it doesn't fit inside a 800x600 window so a separate UI file was made and the GID of it was 08000600. Note the resolution is not converted to Hex.
