I've been playing around a bit with the way the GUI appears in battle to some success, however I'd like to know how I can change the padding for the text so that it displays properly without being cut off like in the screenshot below.



Later on I'd like to make all of these windows a lot more compact towards the top of the screen so they don't cover up the enemy sprites (think Earthbound) - so working with the padding and window sizes is necessary.

I know how to change the font size, the window size and location. I've tried fiddling with the y-coordinate of the text, but it doesn't make much of a difference when the engine is using some padding in a module I don't know about. confused.gif

Thanks again.

I think I know what you mean, so I should be able to manage that part on my own. Though having the options in the command window line up with what's on the right might be a bit tougher.

It's a shame that it's coded like that, though.

I completely agree with you. However, from what I've gathered, basic RGSS classes and modules (i.e. Window, Sprite, Bitmap, Input, Cache, Graphics) were written in a combination of C++ / Ruby, compiled and put into the DLL, so they couldn't be easily editable as well inside RMXP...
