Simple, I just want to be able to change the anchoring point of the special mode buttons. Why? Because it's hard to skin these buttons into something other than a rectangle without it looking like garbage. :roll:

Currently the anchoring point of these buttons can't be changed and the only way to change their positions would be to add a sh_ load of transparency to them to forcibly move them.

An example would be my current special menu screen:



Yes, it looks cool but the problem is that there is transparency all the way back to the original positions, meaning I can click almost anywhere and guarantee that I pick one of the modes. To add insult-to-injury, I can only click half of the mania button(which I don't play anyway) because of it's position being too close to the Ctb button(yes there is transparency covering half of the mania button).Yes, it ONLY looks cool not exactly 100% accurate though. Not cool... :?

If I could move these buttons without having to add transparent background to 90% of it, that would be wonderful.

I just thought of making it changeable in skin.ini with:

  1. X: 0
  2. Y: 0
being their natural positions. Each button would have its own (X,Y) set.

Example

special-taiko.png
  1. X: -7 (Shift Left)
  2. Y: -3 (Shift Down)
special-fruits.png
  1. X: 0 (No Transformation)
  2. Y: 0 (No Transformation)
special-mania.png
  1. X: 7 (Shift Right)
  2. Y: 3 (Shift Up)

In lala land where my approximations would always be correct, doing this would put the buttons side by side.

Here's an example that I made of what it would look like (Yes, I made it in like 10 min. don't bash on it):

Oh, it's cool. No need to apologize, I know you're just trying help.
I can see how they're somewhat similar but after the redesign I doubt the anchoring positions would be changeable then

it's nice to see them changeable in skin.ini, support :3

i think it would just be better to set custom anchor positions for elements via the skin.ini
