2 noob questions :)

Hey, I'm totally new to lua and xml, all I did so far was following the first addon tutorial on the wiki (http://wiki.esoui.com/Writing_your_first_addon)

It's working well so far, but I have two problems that I can't find a solution for...

1) I would like to increase the size of the "fighting" text appearing on my screen. It is a label in the xml file, is there a way to just incease the font size somehow? What I found already was that I can change the font to something different, but that ends up being smaller. And I found a scale command that I can add, but that looks horrible xD

2) When the "fighting" label is visible on the screen and I press ESC to enter the settings etc. the label stays on top of everything. Most other addons just disappear when I press ESC and come back when I continue the game. How are they doing this?

Thanks
