Yes, your system takes the same idea one step forward, but ours is actually
done by the UI designer himself, he has all the flexibility. Just just
models a scene in Maya. He did it as a texture saving technique as apposed
to a resolution independant one, since our title is xbox only.

Also, it suits our style. Our dialog oxes are very simple clean squares with
rounded corners.

But I will keep what you said in mind for the future ;)
