A little help with dialogs and sizes please

[grygon]

So, Im creating a border for a dialog using 3 images for the top, one for each corner and one for the center, but I'm having a problem. It looks fine for me, but for a friend it looks like this:

Good Screenshot

Bad Screenshot

I want to know if theres a way to fix it so that it looks good for everybody. Thanks for the help in advance.

First off, no need to use multiple images. Also, you should change the Image Type to Border and pick a new image (one that is a border). An example would be ui_frame_default_protoss, and all other borders look pretty much the same.

Also, when creating custom UIs with dialogs, try just picking one anchor point and making everything offset from that, so that items appear in the right position even on different resolutions.

Well, this border has to be in 3 pieces, it's a 3 piece image, and I don't want a new image, none of the others look quite good. Also, I've tried doing the border solution, and it doesn't work either, it has an offset on the bottom and right. Let me explain what I'm trying to do really quickly: I'm making a dialog that is fullscreen for everybody, with things in the center, and a border around the edge. That's why I can't just pick a border and size and create it like that.

Create a border image and make it fullscreen.

There is no way to detect someones resolution easily, so you have no way of knowing how big their monitor is. :\

Thanks, I'd already tried that once and it was screwed up, but you made me do it again an this time it worked. + rep
