make gui element ignore other elements in parent / x/y position of elements

[ownlyme]

When you display stuff in gui.center with top_margin etc, you quickly run into issues when other gui elements use the same parent.
for example this cute little mana bar:

manabar.png (7.22 MiB) Viewed 1233 times

Everything seems fine, but now let's add a frame...

frame.png (6.99 MiB) Viewed 1233 times

And suddenly everything's really screwed up...

Maybe you could add a flag like ".ignore_other_elements" or x/y coordinates of elements...

please also notice my other thread about displaying elements on top of the game's gui (not related to this particular mod)
