Interface and screen size

I have recently made a new interface, its relatively basic but I like it a lot.
However, since a lot of people still have a maximum of 1024x768 resolution, I've had to accomodate them.
Ive made a skin that fits their resolution - but for some people it still doesnt show up correctly; everything fits except that there is a huge gap on the right side of the interface, and what should be the centre of the interface is somewhere around the left edge of their screen.

Is there something I can do to fix this?

Anchor the controls correctly, maybe?

It works fine on mine though; and there doesnt seem to be a general rule about what anchors are "correct". It seems a bit slap dash o_o
Almost all controls are anchred to bottom right, with the exception of some of the far right ones anchored to top right as aswell

Anchoring correctly expands the size of the controls and leaves no extra space. If you're lazy, just select all your controls and click the Auto-Anchor button. Unfortunately, there is no Un-Anchor button yet, so you'd have to go through them to unanchor them manually if you choose to.

I have tried this.
Whe I run the game, all the controls are oddly and weirdly spaced apart, absolutley ruining the look and especially ruining the functionality of the skin.

from what i understand its because the others people screen is bigger than the one your working on, with 1064 x 768 being the most used moniter now-a-days you could probably just accomodate and either take the skin out or put up an alert stating whats going to happen if they don't have the 1064 moniter.

Wikipedia says otherwise...
It says that most have a higher resolution; but it says (and I firmly agree) that 1024x768 is the staple resolution.

But the thing is, the skin fits on most people screens. Like, there's more than enough height. And their screen is plenty wide.
But what should be on the far right side of the screen, is inexplicably floating on the left side of their screen, leaving a gaping hole on the right side, and half the game in screen limbo.
