A good guide to VID elements positioning?

[Shadow Raider]

Hello everybody,
I'd align well my windows object, but I can't obtain what I want.
Do you know a good site for VID alignment?

Example, I would obtain:

Title
************
list button
button
button

How I can? Should I use tabs?

Hi Max,

This perhaps does something similar to what you want...

view layout [
across
label "Whatever" return
box 300x4 blue return
saved-point:
text-list 200x400
at saved-point guide
button "A" return
button "B" return
btn "C" return ; For varity!
button "D"
]

Much more useful though may be the links this recent thread on the main REBOL mailing-list turned up...

http://www.rebol.org/ml-display-thread.r?m=rmlJJNC

The official VID docs never quite seemed finished. I got the feeling that while useful, the powers-that-be thought the design wasn't quite as good as it should be. And thus thought their time was better spent designing REBOL 3. In a few years we might even agree...

Hope the above helps, anyway!
