Using Screen% in Designer

All this making one Designer Layout to fit all screen sizes stuff is hurting my head. Is there a way to use the Designer "Common properties" with %x and %y instead of physical pixels?

In other words, right now when I want to add a button or a label or something, I choose the positioning/size by filingl out Left,Top,Width and Height with "how many pixels", I want to use "how much screen %" instead.

Is there a designer script that will auto convert all of this for me?

Sorry if there is an obvious Designer option I'm missing....

You can use designerScripts in order to use %x, %y. I find it very useful.

That sounds great! I see there is a way to assign % properties to specific labels and buttons with the script but I'm looking for a way to force the designer to automatically use %x and %y when adding a new label or button. Is it possible?

Thanks for the reply. My app has 25 panels, 17 buttons and 76 labels. It would be nice if I could rescale them all by the same amount in one line of data rather than going through each one and typing out that I want each of its four properties rescaled. It sure takes a lot of code space and time...
