Ok So I figure I dont really wanna deal with the hassle of Dealing with UI crap. So I was wondering If theres anyway to make a Black Dialog Box that can cover the UI Up without Covering up any other Dialog Box/Menus that I have placed there. Is there a layering system for Dialogs? So i can put The black Cover over the UI? (I just want to block out the stuff between the map and the portrait (Or if possible the portrait as well))

Anyone got any suggestions?

Yes there is layering. This approach is not advisable though as different resolutions might cause your interface to mal-align.

I recommend spending the time and doing it properly. It can not be that difficult if people are doing it over at SC2mapster.

Lol well does anyone have any idea how to actually do this since I was told in another post it related to UI Texture files or something like that. And Im really sick of Trial and error All the bloody time, (i do know thats usually the way it works thoguh when your learning but its not very efficient)

Could someone at least point me in the correct direction as what needs to be done?
