The images which make up the widget are 536x38, they aren't automatically 
stretched when you resize the widget unless you added an 
<area>0,0,100%,100%</area> to those imagetypes. The reason why they aren't 
auto scaled using percentage values is that the results would be pretty 
horrific, rounded images don't stretch well.

You have two choices, either create new images or override the sizes in your 
new definition. e.g.

    <progressbar name="baseprogressbar">
        <area>24,535,375,45</area>
        <layout>horizontal</layout>
        <style>reveal</style>
        <imagetype name="background">
            <area>0,0,100%,100%</area> <!-- or 375,45 -->
            <filename>progressbar_background.png</filename>
        </imagetype>
        <imagetype name="progressimage">
            <area>0,0,100%,100%</area> <!-- or 375,45 -->
            <filename>progressbar_fill.png</filename>
        </imagetype>
    </progressbar>

I should probably modify the progress bar to accept shapes in addition to 
images but I don't have the time.
