Well tried a different oil I have around after verifying with the MSDS it wouldn't harm my keyboard at all, one of the compressor oils I have around which really is just mineral oil with a plastic-safe surfactant.

Took some more shots at the spell window and starting to develop an understanding of the layout stuff. Currently I have it in a state where it can squish the last gem to 0 height to visibly remove it and resize the window automatically. However it only works for the last element.

This is what I have now.

Spell0 (the template in my generator):

Code:

<LayoutVertical item="CSPW_Spell0Layout">
        <ResizeHorizontal>true</ResizeHorizontal>
        <ResizeVertical>true</ResizeVertical>
    </LayoutVertical>

    <Screen item="Spell0">
        <Layout>CSPW_Spell0Layout</Layout>
        <Size>
            <CX>177</CX>
            <CY>29</CY>
        </Size>
        <Pieces>CSPW_Spell0</Pieces>
        <Pieces>Spell0LabelDisplay</Pieces>
    </Screen>

Also added UseInLayoutVertical and Horizontal to false in the Spell0LabelDisplay LayoutBox.

The scene graph for this (the actual window part):

Code:

<LayoutVertical item="CSW_LayoutV">
        <ResizeHorizontal>true</ResizeHorizontal>
        <ResizeVertical>true</ResizeVertical>

It's basically adapting the default UI's way of doing things. Seems like a weird indirect way of sizing the screen element from another screen element in order to squish yet another screen element. I'm all for using a cheap hack to get things running but this one gave me a genuine out loud WTF moment when I realized what they were doing.
