    Maybe they did an offset so it does not cover you up.

    Believe the left side of the box lines up with the center of the page or very close to it.

    Indeed, the left edge of the dialog box is centered in the middle of the player tile.
    loop, if you want the middle of the dialog box to center over the middle of the player, then you can modify the EC UI lua code.

    If somebody from broadsword is actively monitoring/managing this forum, this is a thread they could probably close "Won't fix / by design".

    mainmenuwindow.lua

    line 47
    WindowAddAnchor("MainMenuWindow", "center", "ResizeWindow", "center", 100, 0)

    change to
    WindowAddAnchor("MainMenuWindow", "center", "ResizeWindow", "center", 0, 0)

    No idea why it's offset by 100 units as default.

    Believe it’s left justified.  Not familiar with this software but when I used to insert things like that in documents you could left, center or right justify graphic boxes.

    Thanks, all. I'm very familiar with how to mod the EC, but it seems the design of the templates is such that everything is off center -- the titles of the window in the frame, even the elements of the login screen...

    In this case, the menu has some transparency so you can see yourself regardless of its position. It's interesting that the anchor is done programmatically in the onInitialize hook when it could have been done in the XML, and that the offset is essentially arbitrary.
