Window Selectable / Command Edits

So that the message box does not take up too much room on the screen, I editted Window_Message. I then too editted Command and Selectable, but made copies and directed the message window to the now Window_Command2 and Window_Selectable2 windows...

The only trouble is, it remains like this:

I want it like this:

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v108/ ... ssage2.png[/IMG]

The trouble is, I do not know, and cannot find, where to edit to a, change the amount it moves to when selecting, or b, change the size of the selector.

One thing I can think of is, I could simply resize the selector in the windowskin and have transparency in there like so:

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v108/ ... inskin.png[/IMG] >> http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v108/ ... skin_2.png[/IMG]

But then it still wont change the gap between each selection.

So, any ideas?

look at the code below. but note that changing the height's value will change every windows. You might want to create a variable which contains the height and change it in the initialize method of the desired window...

Code: 
#--------------------------------------------------------------------------
  # * Update Cursor Rectangle
  #--------------------------------------------------------------------------
  def update_cursor_rect
    # If cursor position is less than 0
    if @index < 0
      self.cursor_rect.empty
      return
    end
    # Get current row
    row = @index / @column_max
    # If current row is before top row
    if row < self.top_row
      # Scroll so that current row becomes top row
      self.top_row = row
    end
    # If current row is more to back than back row
    if row > self.top_row + (self.page_row_max - 1)
      # Scroll so that current row becomes back row
      self.top_row = row - (self.page_row_max - 1)
    end
    # Calculate cursor width
    cursor_width = self.width / @column_max - 18
    # Calculate cursor coordinates
    x = @index % @column_max * (cursor_width + 18)
    y = @index / @column_max * 18 - self.oy
    # Update cursor rectangle
    self.cursor_rect.set(x, y, cursor_width, 18) #HERE, the 18 is the height.
  end
