Is there a way to "read" the *.ui file to understand what UI customization is applied? 

Unlike config.pro that can be edit/read via text editor, the *.ui file could not be read/edit via text editor like notepad

Basically, what i am trying to achieve is to "read" the customization that is applied via the *.ui file

It is not designed to be "readable" and there is no documentation on the syntax. So, the short answer is no and Creo will write a new customization.ui file whenever changes are made to the UI, intentional or not.

 

Not being able to "audit" the file is not a great implementation for users. The best approach is to keep copies of the customization.ui files and modify them as needed while retaining the "known good version" as a fall back.
