Well when I reload the hud scheme/layout Im in 1024x768 - But the hud controls positions/sizes etc are provided in "virtual screen coordinates" already in the HudLayout.res file so it shouldnt matter if Im editing them in 640x480 or not.
When I do the hud_reloadscheme command, it only seems to screw up the font size of text displayed using vgui::Labels. HUD elements that do a direct surface()->DrawText dont suffer from this problem. Looking at the replies I got, no one really seems to know what is causing this here so Ill go ahead and try to fix it then post the solution here I guess. By the way, what is the "native" screen resolution for VGUI editing? Im pretty sure it wasnt 640x480, but I could be wrong.

Edit them in 640*480 and this won't happen.
