So, I haven't done anything with UI since before Blizzard implemented the layout overrides. I've managed to go through the painstaking task of creating a custom dialog box with a box where I need it but the problem is that it does not scale with screen resolution. So I figured I must be doing something wrong. What is the best method for getting a UI bar to span across the entire top of the screen regaurdless of screen resolution.
The best reference image I can find is this one from the map TOFU. How do I create a bar similar to the one in TOFU? I have my images made and ready to go, but putting them in my custom made dialog box's isn't going to work :(.

Without seeing what you want the top to look like, the easiest way (and I believe this is the way both Blizzard and TOFU did it) is to make the bar in layers and make a background layer of the bar that can just be duplicated/extended all the way across the screen. For example in that TOFU screenshot, that thin gray bar on top is probably a separate dialog that expands across the screen under all the other elements, making you think they are all one large connected bar.
