as mentioned right after giving the example, that's the way some of the
themes unfortunately work, but that's due to the technology they use
(they are displaying background images and the like, which are
pre-generated for that exact resolution, possibly a dynamic scaling
won't look right in those cases). On the other hand, I'm completely with
you, they should behave better, but they are not my skins, nor do I
particularly use them, I was only trying to help the users a bit, which
add such skins without touching any code...

Seriously ;) ?

That's fair enough and also ok with me, thanks.
