You'd need to know the client's resolution. This library doesn't provide that directly but there are probably some that do. You just need to run some javascript in a browser on the client to grab their resolution.

Once you know their resolution you can create a /Window object and call its Pos() proc to center it.

mob
    var
        //scr = screen
        scrwidth
        scrheight
    Login()
        ..()
        src<<output({"<script type='text/Javascript'>
document.location.href = 'byond://?action=resol&width=' + screen.width+'&height='+screen.height;
</script>"},"resodet")
mob/Stat()
    statpanel("You")
    stat("Resolution: [scrwidth]x[scrheight]")//Displays the Resolution (Will appear as "x" before scrwidth & height is set.)
    sleep(10)//1 second update.(Prevents massive lag in big games :3)
client
    Topic(t)
        var/nlist[] = params2list(t)
        if(nlist["action"] && (nlist["action"] == "resol"))//If action exists & is set to assign resolution
            src.mob.scrwidth=text2num(nlist["width"])//assigns width to mob
            src.mob.scrheight=text2num(nlist["height"])//same here (with height)

this gets the player screen resolution but how can i center skin

If you know the width and height of the screen and window, you can compute the x/y position to place the window at that'll make it centered in the screen:

var/Window/window = new("windowname", src)

// set these to the bounds of the window, you can
// hard code the values or read them at runtime.
var/win_width = 400
var/win_height = 300

window.Pos(round(scrwidth / 2 - win_width / 2), round(scrheight / 2 - win_height / 2))

also
MedalDisplay
    var
        mob/owner
        Window/MedalWindow
        Label/Desc

    New(mob/m)
        owner=m
        MedalWindow=new("MedalWindow", owner)
        Desc=new("MedalWindow", "Desc", owner)


    proc
        show_medal(Medal/m)
            MedalWindow.Pos(8,44)
            MedalWindow.IsVisible("true")
            Desc.Text("[m.name]\n[m.Desc]")
            sleep(Constant.MedalDisplay)
            MedalWindow.IsVisible("false")

mob
    var
        MedalDisplay/medal_display

this proc dosnt make MedalWindow disappear.

You just need to pass the IsVisible() proc 0 or 1, it gets converted to "true" and "false" inside the library.
