there is a thread somewhere (about a year ago) that already did the math and moved the orders box down to the bottom left of screen but i cant seem to find it so it might take a little searching but i remember the key to it was your screen size/resolution made it a little different for the numbers you used so a general mod for all wasnt done just gave you the grid coordinates to use and you tweaked it to your setup if needed.
