Well, you can do the screen layout using SidlWidl, Gendal just doesn't recommend it.

Quote:

The screen layout window as it stands directly edits the skin's global coordinates. This is bad because if you adjust them to anything other than the lowest common denominator (640x480) it will render the skin inoperable for anybody in a resolution greater than the one you dragged everything around to.
Eventually the screen layout window will write its values to the "UI_PlayerName_##.ini" files in the Everquest directory for each resolution you want, but for now it writes them to the global xml, which can royaly screw up the way your skins look if you don't understand that.
I am also hoping that the current UI_*.ini files are some sick joke and verant will eventually get around to rewriting them in Xml. Course I also like to hope they will release a real schema, balance bards, and name me king of Freeport.

I'm looking to do a layout in 1280X1024 I'll have to load up SIDLWIDL again and check. Did Gendal ever update it since 2.9...or .29...whatever it was?
