It seems that in RDAirPlay only the cart screen is really sensitive to
screen size (static or dynamic).

It would be nice to find a way to introduce dynamic screen sizing into
Rivendell. As long as the "one size fits all" philosophy is in place, it
probably needs to stay 1024x768, since we must support the least
common denominator. We wouldn't want to make Rivendell unusable on older
hardware just because it now supports only higher resolutions or wide
aspect ratios. The best way to support larger screen sizes, would be to
make the screen size dynamic. That way we can utilize newer hardware while
maintaining backward compatibility.

That would at least require some thoughts about how to lay out the cart
screen grid. Such work may also relate to the occasionally discussed
upgrade to a newer version of qt.
