Currently we can only define UI object placement by it's top-left coordinate, but some times it's a hassle. And I think it's a reason for vertical object's weird behaviour when trying to resize them. The solution would be to have options for anchor point of the object, ideally 9 points of choice, all corners and sides and centre, but at the very least option for central anchor. That would also enable triggering animations with object resizing. I've tried some and it works, but it's tricky to make object enlarge from centre without also adjusting it's position.

So, is it going to be possible? There's a simple way to keep backwards compatibility, just use top-left anchor point as default (which is the way it works now) if not specified.

it's a good suggestion but a very hard job to implement.
I'll see if I can find something which not seriously decreases performances.

I think that would be worth putting out for HH4 among new features! Thanks for considering
