Ok, so is there any way to have templates respect the old layout rules?. For example:

I wish all graphics in this application were a little more respectful to the issue of many different displays having many different sizes and then scale them nicely. Whether it is 1920x1080, 1280x1024, 1024x768 or whatever, you would hope it would scale nicely. One would hope this was treated as a bug and not a future enhancement.

Templates were designed to use group-style layout (which _do_ scale nicely, btw, but with fewer options) I’ll have to think about adding the ability to use anchored layout.
