UI modding questions

[wowgetoffyourcellphone]

As shown here, my currently modded UI code moves the minimap to the left. Not sure what to do to make it snap to the corner rather than go to a specific pixel distance.

Here's the file:

Relevant line:

Any help would be apprec.

I think if you put something like "0% 100%-256 256 100%" it'll do what you want

You need to move it out of the bottom panel object, i.e. replace:

	<!-- START of BOTTOM PANEL -->
	<!-- Limit to the minimal supported width of 1024 pixels. -->
	<object size="50%-512 0 50%+512 100%">

		<object size="50%-512 100%-200 50%-312 100%">
			<include directory="gui/session/minimap/"/>
		</object>
      
		<!-- Supplemental Details Panel (left). -->

with:

	<object size="0 100%-200 200 100%">
		<include directory="gui/session/minimap/"/>
	</object>

	<!-- START of BOTTOM PANEL -->
	<!-- Limit to the minimal supported width of 1024 pixels. -->
	<object size="50%-512 0 50%+512 100%">

		<!-- Supplemental Details Panel (left). -->

(Or whatever the size is you're using: it's size="left top right bottom".)
