It's really annoying, because I have a perfectly positioned GUI that looks distorted online. Anyone know the solution/cause of this?

Because I'm guessing you're positioning/sizing them using offset. Offset is done in pixels, if I remember correctly, meaning that if the size of the screen changes (increases in size, for example) the GUIs wouldn't follow suite causing your current predicament. You should therefore use a combination of scale and offset when positioning/sizing your GUIs.

You're using only offset or only scale. That's going to make it look different on every screen.


In general, use scale to roughly position GUI elements to roughly where you want 'em, then if you're designing the rest of the gui, use offsets to maintain your design.

If you have an ammo counter, say, scale locks it to the bottom-right, whereas offset makes it look the same on every single screen.

@Yum, that's an excellent tip!
@Rest, thanks! I wasn't sure what was the difference.

Your screen in studio is smaller, because of all the toolbars. I usually remove all of the toolbars, or make them draggable before I start.
