    So...

    I am using Pokémon Essentials BW and Elite Battle and I want the upper screen to be in a widescreen format, but the bottom screen to be in standard 4:3.

    I can get the screen to look like that, but how do I change the positioning of all the buttons pictures and other elements.

    Also, when I changed the screen size, Elite Battle stopped recognizing Essentials BW and went back to the default EBS UI. Changing the resolution back didn't fix it either.EDIT: Fixed that myself using my incredibly-slow-to-engage common sense.

    First you change the the values of DEFAULTSCREENWIDTH, DEFAULTSCREENHEIGHT and SCREENDUALHEIGHT (2x the value of the screen-height + 16 pixels for the "separator"-file), to a resolution that matches a 16:9 ratio. (e.g 400x240, the resolution of the 3ds screen). You can find the three values in the Script-Section "Settings"

    Secondly, Pokémon Essentials BW put a Graphic called "separator.png" to give the player the impression of two separated screens (It's just a graphic, that covers a small area between both halves). You can do a similar thing for the lower screen: two black rectangles, which "changes" the visible area from the 16:9 ratio to a 4:3 ratio. Technically it's still a 16:9 screen, but you see only the 4:3 area.

    And last, about changing the position of the graphics: That can't be done automatically. You have to go to all the corresponding script sections and change the x- and y-values of the graphics and texts. It takes a lot of time and effort, but there is no such as automatic way. Take one section at the time, search for the values you are looking for, change the value and see how it affects the scene.
     
    Right, I have another question.

    How do I limit the width of the message boxes?
    I have the re-positioning of the graphical elements down, but text boxes on the lower screen take up way too much space...

    For example:
    [PokeCommunity.com] Essentials BW Kit + EBS Widescreen?

    The text box goes outside the boundaries of the save window...

    Can I fix that?
