Advice(s) on menu_1024x768.ini please

[ichso]

Hi,

I was about to write a PM to OLC but thought it might be good to ask that in general so somebody who might need this too comes across this question.

At first a little problem:
At the nav map (F5) I don't get the speed conversion charts, which is strange as no other mod fiddled with the menu_1024...ini so far and the SpeedTable.tga is also there. I currently played in 1280x1024 resolution but set it back to 1024x768 as I thought a higher resolution interferes with the absolut pixel-related positions of the items in menu_1024...ini.

Now the other thing:
I just started playing SH3 again and found out about the OLC GUI (1.2.3). I really love it and use it. But a few month ago, I also loved the 6 Dials Sim Feeling mod.
I now want to integrate this two into one mod.
I know that there's already a kombi mod out there for sliding dials and the OLC GUI, but I like it more if 1. the dials are bigger and 2. there slide in from the right (or at least the bottom more to the right).
Don't know why, but I have my gripes with using dials on the left.

The "6 Dials ..." mod has a great manual of how to setup up the mod piece by piece. So I followed the instructions and wanted to start out with the big compass on the
right (as it is already in GWX 2.0 too, but not anymore with OLC GUI).
I added the according sections into the menu_1024...ini as described in the readme.exe of the "6 Dials..." mod.

I added it right behind the whole OLC-stuff section, gave it it's unique number etc.
I didn't change any position values for this dial item but it appears on the bottom to the left is only seen halfway and doesn't slide out either.

Now my question is: what exactly controls WHERE you have to point the cursor to make any item slide out.
And where is the point of ordinates in SH3 (0,0) ? In the upper left corner of the screen ? And if you use any screen resolution, does that interfere with those absolute pixel values in the menu_1024...ini ?

Thanks in advance, i.
