Looks like a posistion problem. You are most likely going to need to edit the X,Y cords for that button. Or what I would do is just load it up in SIDLWIDL and drag it where it needs to be.

make sure this is set as this in the window...

<RelativePosition>true</RelativePosition>

if this is false that can place what ever you have on diff parts of the screen..

Zip the files and post them here so folks can take a look and see if they can figure out what the problem is.

Hooray for bumping 2 month old posts. Your problem is in line 1181 of your xml file. The line is:

<RelativePosition>True</RelativePosition>

The problem is that "true" is case-sensitive for some reason, and since "True" != "true" it regards it as false. So the line should be

<RelativePosition>true</RelativePosition>

This is true for your done button in your spellbook as well as for the autoequip area (I assume that's what that is) in your inventory window.

SIDLWIDL saves true/false as True/False.

If you are using it to mod your UI's then be sure to open the files in a text editor and replace them all.
It's really easy, in Notepad just go to Edit>Replace, enter the the words, then click Replace all.
