The position of the buttons can be easily move by changing line 87 of
panel_notification.xml.
Orginal : follows="left|right|bottom"
Top placement : follows="left|right|top"  <- this should move the buttons to
the top of the layout but also might have to move lines 85-99 to the top of
the xml file as well plus modify the other sections accordingly.

> In V1.x, script dialog boxes (the blue menus) were located on the
> upper right corner of the screen, with a fixed size text area in which
> the script could write what it wanted (up to 512 chars), with a
> scrollbar when needed. Then there were the buttons below that area.
> This had a nice side effect though, the buttons were always at the

> knew well, you didn't have to actually read before clicking.
> 
> The scrollbar wasn't very practical, so LL decided to move the dialogs
> down to the lower right corner of the screen in v2.x, in exchange of
> making the dialogs variable in size. Best of both worlds, the dialogs
> were showing all the info at first glance without the need for a
> scrollbar, and the buttons were always at the same spot (although the
> sidebar was complicating things a little, but it was still workable).
> 
> Now in v3 the dialogs are back to the upper right corner of the screen
> as part of EXT-1285 (coded and released by Seth Productengine). Ok,
> but no scrollbar means the buttons are NOT always at the same place
> anymore and that... is unacceptable to me. I absolutely need to change
> this, this is not practicable as it is.
> 
> So I have two options. Either leave the dialogs where they are now and
> move the buttons of the dialog window BEFORE the text, or move the
> dialogs back to the lower right corner of the screen.
> 
> Option 1 is good for v1 users, but a little confusing since the
> dialogs would not look like they always did. However I have spent some
> time looking for a way to do this, and never found HOW to move these
> buttons up before the text. I know the dialog is roughly defined in
> notifications.xml under the name "ScriptDialog", but I don't see where
> the list of buttons is constructed. The point of this email is partly
> to ask how to do this.
> 
> Option 2 is good for v2 users, however it has a nasty side-effect :
> notification boxes ("are you sure you want to quit" and such) are
> linked to the tool bar or something. I haven't found where to change
> that and this is also the point of this email.

> I prefer option 1 personally, but I fear moving the buttons would look
> like a lame hack. Can anybody give me pointers about how to implement
> either option please ? Or better, both options !
