Give the skin a reference resolution and make it automatically scale for players using a different resolution.

If I put the reference resolution at 1080p and someone at 1440p joins it scales up everything for them dynamically. Or down if they're using 1366x768.

Add a tickbox to elements called "Obey reference resolution" for exceptions to this rule.

Timegrinder	Are you talking about something like giving it a 'DPI' parameter? Instead of just '64x64' and someone with a bigger screen ends up with a huge version. I was thinking of something just like that for DMI's so you could store higher resolution DMI's but have them output at appropriate resolutions for various scales during gameplay.

Crazah	You can do this by transforming plane_masters or using map_zoom already. You just have to have a method call that does this when the skin is resized.

Crazah	You can anchor skin elements to have them size with user resolution.

Legobumb	What Crazah said makes this already a feature. It can get tricky getting the right percentages if you use a lot of skin elements, but it's not hard to accomplish already.
