Need help with GUI's?
I know quite a bit about GUI's just one thing that annoys me! How do you make it so TextLabel's, Frames, TextButton's are the same size on EVERY TYPE OF SCREEN. I know that if you make anything 1,0,1,0 size it will fit a screen BUT I was experimenting (my screen is 26inc) and some of the text buttons and stuff WHERE NOT SEE-ABLE - (outside the screen) so what I do is make the GUI's small enough for all screens to be able to fit! But it looks quite small and DULL for people with bigger screens. When I notice resolution doesn't really change things it really got me... Like some people with laptop screens that are smaller than mine DIDN'T FIT some of the GUI! Is there a script that can detect all this? OR AM I WRONG someone help and correct me with this PLEASE! Or is it a bug for me?
-UPDATE 1 Can someone please explain how to size TextLabel, TextButtons, Frames so ANYONE can see on any size'd monitor?
-UPDATE 2 26inc MONITOR - http://prntscr.com/4pj0iw 24inc MONITOR - http://prntscr.com/4pj1ib LOWER COULD NOT BE SEEN (this is not a real but its an example)

The numbers you're using are for scale, which will change depending on screen resolution.
(1,0)(1,0) for a size will fill the whole screen, whereas (0,50)(0,50) will create a 50 by 50 pixel box.
It's probably best if you use the scales ((g,0)(g,0))* to position your GUIs, and use the pixels ((0,g)(0,g))* to size the boxes, this will ensure a consistent viewing across a wide range of screen resolutions.
If you wish to achieve a centered GUI then simply half the pixels and make them a negative number on each axis and use 0.5 for the scale.
For example: A 100 (x axis(horizontal)) by 200 (y axis(vertical)) pixel box centered in the middle of the screen will have a size of (0,100)(0,200). The position will be (0.5,-50)(0.5,-100).
Also, always remember that a GUI's position/size it always measured from the top left corner of the GUI.
If you need any more help, maybe consider checking out this article on the ROBLOX wiki.
*g shows what I'm referencing to, whether that be the scales or pixels.

Use Scale as much as possible.
Any Offset should be small (tiny adjustments only) -- smaller than, say, 40, unless...
...unless you have convinced yourself that the size in pixels will work on any screen (e.g., a 200px centered button will be OK on screens at least 200px wide (all of them); a GUI that is 400px to the left of the center will require probably more than 850px wide screen, which may no longer support small screens or mobile devices)
...or unless you are recomputing sizes dynamically by using scripts to fit to the screen size
...or you are using some sort of scrolling context that makes the sum height or width of many items not matter if it exceeds the screen's size
