Lately I've been trying to download some pre-made Overview packs to customize my overview settings, but I've come up with a problem. I can't find the EVE\Overview folder in my documents, it just isn't there. I can find documents for capture, logs, screenshots and portraits, but no overview. So it seems I can't import customized overview settings into the game. Is this option something that's only reserved for Omega clones, or is there something else I'm missing? It's Windows 10.

EvE has a really messy system for storing things like chat windows, positions, overview etc. , it is possible to import/ export various stuff but it will require digging (somewhere in %appdata%), copying, renaming and pasting files back.

Fastest way (if you have 2-3 accounts) is to export the settings in-game (drag the export cross to a chat window or even bio.) and load on the other toon. Columns don't load (and maybe other stuff), it has to be done manually.

C:\Users\*******\Documents\EVE\Overview

The folder will only be created once you have saved an overview setting to it. Open the overview settings ingame and export your current overview setting, this will create the overview folder on your computer.
