this is pretty simple to do.

in RF, we have x & y values for our HUD elements.  if they are positive values, means that it's from the left or bottom, if they're negative values, means that they are from the right and top.

But with your simple Approach you are loosing the possibility of anchoring
the element to both sides at the same time, which is a natural way to
express rescaling-Behavior in your GUI.
