  • Scale images to fill control and text alignment for buttons like labels
  • I know this has been suggested before: option for buttons to become drop down menus
  • When editing a skin file, have a button to attach one control to the other so that when you move one control the other moves with it
  • Click() with skin controls
  • The background image of an output to remain in the middle and not be effected by the amount of text in the output

    There are text alignments for label elements. Left, Center, and Right as far as I'm aware. And there's a scale image to control feature for images as well.

    • This would be useful :)
  • When editing a skin file, have a button to attach one control to the other so that when you move one control the other moves with it

    • You can do that with a Ctrl+Click of the mouse to select multiple controls, then drag n drop. It'll move all the controls you have selected.
  • Click() with skin controls

    • Already been suggested I believe.
  • The background image of an output to remain in the middle and not be effected by the amount of text in the output

    • Um. It's not affected by the text in the output whatsoever. It stays centered, if not the same size of the control, and scaled to control's size when that option is selected. The text that outputs on the output control doesn't affect it at all.

    Yeah I guess you can do that, but this feature wouldn't hurt and is probably easy to implement.

    With text that requires a scroll bar: http://img149.imageshack.us/my.php?image=messedal8.png

    Sorry, I must've misread your sentence.

    Why bother when there's already an extremely easy way of accomplishing what you're trying get added to the software?

    Okay that has never happened to me so I don't know what's going on with yours.

I'm still telling you that if controls had a MouseEntered and MouseExited param, menus like that would be possible with only a little effort involved.
