That was the answer I was expecting.  It would be great if an HDTV theme
could be made, and if mods could be made to take advantage of the extra
resolution afforded by HDTV, so that more information could be displayed at

Also, what kind of HDTV outputs are supported?  What kind of hardware would
I need if a DVI connector is not present on the TV?  Mine only has component
inputs.
An ATI Card with the DVItoHDTV adapter perhaps?
