I have selected 640x360 for the image resolution and now when viewed in the WebUI default skin the image is squashed into a square box. If I switch to 480x480 then the WebUI looks OK but the text in Material Skin can flow over the image. The 480x480 images also seem to look better as well.[image: https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20200601/fca3486ed321f57cf7245242e7739f33.jpg][image: https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20200601/212546a7a01fa747ce04153b2cd18ddf.jpg]
