Hi Dave, I checked again, if I start with a 4:3 resolution the gages remain round when maximizing to 1680*1050 by clicking the square in the upper right corner. I am running win xp, compiled on msvc-express. The same, if I start with --resolution=800x600. If I start with --resolution=1680x1050 the gages are not round, but the property browser seem to show the same values in sim/current-view.
