Notice Panel

[Delta]

I never actually found a good way to use the splash functions. This is basically a simple notice panel example using the splash text function in a good way. I included all the variables I think you will ever need to keep the panel aligned where you want it although in the example I didn't take use of all of them.

Few notes that go with the example:

* The function _notice() can't be used by it self. You must set the $gui_title, $gui_notice_title, $gui_notice_text and define the $gui_pos_check variables.

* To display the panel call _notice() to close it call SplashOff()

* To change the title and or text of the panel set $gui_notice_title and or $gui_notice_text then call _notice()
