Hey Devforum,

I am currently trying to make a GUI widget for a plugin. The thing is since the widget is in a minimized small window all the icons ‘smoosh’ together and when scaling out the window they stretch. How can I stop this? I am very new to UI so I don’t know about aspect ratio constraints or any of that stuff, if you need pictures of the problem reply and I will post them here.

so my guess is that you wrote the position like {{0, 5}, {0, 5}}, instead of {{0.5, 0}, {0.5, 0}} is that right?
