	The X position of a button rarely changes from resolution to resolution, but the Y position always changes.		The X position of a button rarely changes from resolution to resolution, but the Y position always changes.
		+
		+
		+	The buttons are based off the center of the screen. Here is an example of finding the center position of the screen:
		+
		+	<pre>
		+	WinGetActiveStats, win_Title, Xmax, Ymax, win_Xpos, win_Ypos
		+	CenterX := Floor(Xmax/2)
		+	CenterY := Floor(Ymax/2)
		+	</pre>
		+
		+
		+	So, based on the second screenshot of the popup, my center (1280x1024) is 644,501. The first number rarely changes, so we need to find the offset of the Y position. In the popup screenshot above, I hit F2 on the Max button of gathering water. As you see, X did not change. But Y is not correct. Y is 57 more coordinates that the center of screen. So now I would change the above code to this:
		+
		+
		+	<pre>
		+	WinGetActiveStats, win_Title, Xmax, Ymax, win_Xpos, win_Ypos
		+	CenterX := Floor(Xmax/2)
		+	CenterY := Floor(Ymax/2) + 57
		+	</pre>
		+
		+	This code should now find the Max button at any screen resolution.
		+
		+
		+	So instead of hardcoding <b>Click 644,508 I use the above code to work at any resolution.

		+	The purpose of gathering the screen center and the offset (screen center - mouse position) is so that so that you can easily add locations of buttons on the screen, that will work at all screen resolutions (instead of hardcoding an x,y position. I'll explain that below...

But since I used the same x,y on both sides, it will only look at one coordinate for the color.

The #25 means to look for the color within 25 shades.  So in this case, it doesn't need to find the color exactly, just fairly close.
