Room size thoughts considering the GUI

[omerzigdon]

(By the way, I've looked on the last forum pages and didn't find a post which answered my question)

I am building a room in a 320X200 resolution. I am working in a "Simon" style: 134 pixels 'dedicated' to the room, 12 pixels to the text line and the rest to the inventory. So, when I'm building the room I should build it in 320X200 resolution and make the bottom part black? And when do I enter the text line?
Thank you.

I tried importing a 320x150 picture as room background and it worked fine. AGS colored the remaining space black.
The next thing for you to do is create a 320x66 GUI and place it at 0;134.
Then put a label on it (320x12, centered text, at 0,0).

Thank you very much. Is it possible to put some GUIs one upon the other?

Yes, they are displayed in front of or behind each other according to their z-order property.
Please read the manual and do the tutorial, also play around with the editor.
