your best bet is to make a diffrent screen like Post-Tournament its in the Layout Tab, click Screen Sets, click  new ( type in ( Post-Tournament )  click conditions, click ,After Game, this screen will pop-up after the Game Ends, tokens are good to use in this,  like  Endtime,  Ranking,  Farewell, ect,

i really do have to thank you for your time timmer...but..i have no idea what im doing wrong...i did a new screen and just cant move tokens like clock etc. to where i want

it...and the screen i made doesnt come up at game end....nor do i know how to make them smaller so they fit in the shape that the background picture has...ive been

 reading the manual over and over but with no luck of understanding it lol ... i ve

even tried youtube to see if there was a video on there that show you how to do things....but not a thing there for TD...im not very good on computers at the best of

 times

but ive really tried to make this work and want it to work ...but maybe its to much for a beginner..but i really want to thank you for trying so hard for me...but it maybe

looks like something easy to you but a mountain for me to do lol.
Regards Brad

The main problem (I believe) usually with these types of issues is that the layout designer made it for one screen resolution and the user has a different screen resolution.  The layout automatically stretches to fit your screen size (when in full-screen mode).  The designer likely had to do a lot of tweaking to cell widths and heights and such to get the text to land in the appropriate location on the background image.

You might try setting your screen resolution to the same resolution as the background image and see if that helps.  To get it to work properly on a different resolution, you'll have to tweak the layout.

Version 2.6 (in alpha testing currently) has an option to turn off the stretching.  It won't help if the user of the layout has a different screen resolution, but it might make it easier to layout the components and make it more obvious what the issue is.

Here's what the layout looks like for me when I set my screen size to 1280x800 (the size of the background image):

Sorry, brain fart.  You're right, not sure what's up with the Game Over screen.

As a quick fix, here's what I did (and this will probably depend on what your prizes are, because they affect how the other elements lay out):

Edit the Blinds cell, select the After Tournament property group.  On each tab (Odd Rounds, Even Rounds, Breaks), set the width attribute to 650 and the height to 0.  Set the HTML to:

<nobr>GAME OVER&nbsp;&nbsp;</nobr><div style="height: 135px"></div>

Additionally, you might want to limit the prize display to 6 prizes.  Edit the HTML of the V Prizes cell to be:

Prizes:<br><prizes orient="vertical" max="6">

Edit: By the way, this was using the original layout template, not the one you attached in your last post.
