This has been quite a problem to the new OreUI design when the textures for the HBUI is in the wrong folder. It makes changing textures of the new UI so much harder compare to regular JsonUI. So what they should basically do it's move the gui\dist\hbui inside the resource_packs folder
Current location: <minecraft_version>\data\gui\dist\hbui
Moved location: <minecraft_version>\data\resource_packs
If the texture files for the OreUI is located inside the resource_packs folder, it should makes modifying textures for the OreUI screens so much easier via different resource packs

3rd image: The textures folder for the OreUI (which cannot be customized and modified as of right now)

This needs to be fixed as soon as possible, since the export button in the world edit screen can't be shown anymore using texture packs which is a big problem for me, since that button is the only for me to get the file of a world to upload it (I'm making maps, on my android and can't get my worlds as files without that button)
Replying to lostliano:
Adding the ability to edit Ore UI textures with resource packs would still not allow you to add the Export button on mobile. Mojang has decided not add this feature themselves: https://bugs.mojang.com/browse/MCPE-174595
Resource packs need to be able to edit the underlying UI data to add buttons. However, Mojang has added no way to modify Ore UI data with resource packs.
Thank you for your report!
