#2675: Theme assumption of 800x600 size may cause pixel-alignment problems at
screen resolutions of 1024x768

For people who are ''really'' compulsive about where their theme elements
land on the screen, the assumption that the screen is going to be 800x600
(for 4:3) may cause (very minor, almost hairline, but likely to be just as
maddening) problems with the exact placement of theme elements if they are
expected to line up exactly with a background bitmap image and the display
is at 1024x768. The higher resolution should be able to be downsampled
fine, but going the other way isn't quite such a sure thing and people
with a high-quality output device might not be appreciating the extra
blurriness and what happens to their pixel-perfect graphics.
Several nVidia cards I've seen give the crispest and brightest output to
SVideo/TV when run at 1024x768. This might be a good time to pump up the
widescreen assumption to 1920x1080 (for 16:9 output at 1080i/p) as well,
since themes seem to always need a little poking-at between codebase
releases anyway.
(After doing a lot of pixel-by-pixel jiggery-pokery last weekend trying to
figure out how to get a convincing LCARS theme going, I realized this
might come up as a future problem for people using the oh-so-crisp LCD
displays.)
