currently the skin determines it in every case.
just about every skin aside from the nokia770 skin takes artwork image
tags from the fallback (EN) skin (EN/hreftemplates).
this means that the gallery view is using fit stretch sized to the
server preference for thumbnail size. this means artwork files that
are too small, are stretched to fit while all large files are shrunk to
fit, maintaining aspect ratio.
the nokia770 skin handles things through ajax updates, so the mechanism
there is a bit different but I believe it still uses the same fit
stretch. The trend for artwork handling is moving more toward assuming
users have artwork files large enough that most will need to be
resized down to fit a limited screen space. Since the grid layout of
the gallery view depends on somewhat consistent layout, that is
critical. Other views are in progress. there is still plenty of room
for more skins to be developed to suit the needs of other users.
