[mythtv-users] Aspect ratio (16:9 anamorphic)

There are two concepts at work here:
1. normal Myth themes are based on 4:3 aspect ratio.  As you've seen the
-wide themes are based on 16:9 aspect ratio
2. MythTV GUI (Qt toolkit, really) assumes square pixels.  You could
pre-stretch a theme's images in the opposite direction, but the text
will never look right.  You can specify separate video modes for GUI vs.
video playback; if this works with your video output hardware you could
choose a square-pixeled mode for your GUI.
