I have tried several different themes, and all have the same problem, I have also tried fiddling with font sizes but this also does not help. My screen resolution is set to 1280 x 1024. The GUI fills the screen, but the menu images are quite large. Is there any way to set by which percentage it scales the theme images?

It's doing it right. Your TV is overscanning the image, though, so some
of it is cut off. You can try setting your Myth GUI size (height/width)
and offset to compensate.

Fix your screen size and set the DisplaySize in your
XF86Config/xorg.conf as shown below. You should use a screen resolution
whose aspect ratio corresponds to your display's physical aspect ratio.
Therefore, if running on a widescreen TV or monitor, you should do
16:9. If running on a 4:3 monitor, you should do 4:3. (1280x1024 is 5:4.)
