Excellent. I updated the plugin to change the hint text when you mouse-over the fields - hopefully that'll make it clearer. Get it at http://bellsouthpwp.net/a/t/atomicd/plantex_beta.zip (only the TCL file was changed).

I can absolutely see where you might input a "50" to offset a texture by 50 pixels (that does seem more intuitive).

However, using percentages, you don't have to remember the pixel height/width of each texture to offset it by, say, 50% - another advantage to percentages is you can alter the offsets on multiple surfaces with different-sized textures and they'll all shift the same relative amount.

Hope that helps.
