>From what I've seen, no, it doesn't do this at all. All skin objects are positioned by hard-coded pixel-oriented parameters. In other words, if you want something to be shown at 300 pixels from the left and 180 from the top, you set the X and Y values to put it there.
As I said in my previous note, I'm suggesting that skin object positioning be handled as _percentages_ of screen area rather than actual hard values. For example, we want a watermark of 256x256 pixels in the bottom right of an 800x600 screen. We could set the values directly (x=544 y=344 width=256 height=256) _OR_ we use a percentage to express placement relative to the size of the screen (x=68% y=57% width=32% height=42%). Yes, I'm aware this wouldn't exactly render a square watermark on a 16:9 monitor, but you get the idea. I'll work out the exact math to compensate for the 4:3 -> 16:9 differences when I get a chance.
