Your right, the scaling is off on my eeepc but its much more than I
achieved. Thanks! Looking at the solar plugin the graphics are scaled
to the lowest expect res screen (800x480) and is scaled up from there.
How does that work for widescreen vs standard as the circle would
become and oval at a guess :-P

In the solar one there is one unscaled image, so the star is always the same
size in all versions. The background, stars, flares etc are all auto generated.
What you can do is to scale while keeping the ratio, centre it and make the
background the same colour. The scaling would require some additions to the
progress animation tools.
Alternatively the frames can be clipped to just contain the middle parts and
those can be centred and not scaled (so on large screens they may look smaller).
Finally the more custom way of doing this is to just give the dot, arrow, Xman
and the fedora remix as seperate small images and they can all be smoothly
customly rotated and faded in. Generally the smaller and fewer the images the
better, so this may be the best bet. I'll have a stab at the weekend if you
like.

That would be great if you have the chance, it would take me a whole
lot more time that you it seems :-)
