I have a very new HTPC, with RC3 installed, and I am testing things out on it in my office. I'm a long time XBMC user, and intend on moving this HTPC to my living room with a 16:9 plasma at some point in the future.

RC3 came with the skin 'razor' which purports to be a 16:9 skin. I also downloaded the Blue2 skin in 1280x720 for RC3. Yet when I launch MP (running windowed) on a desk top of 1280 x 1024 with either of these skins, it seems to want to be 4:3. I can drag the window to a more wide aspect, but the setting is not retained upon next launch.

I poked around MP Setup ad nauseum, and searched the forum, but I cannot figure out how to get mp to launch in 16:9.

Is this an xml tweak?

Thanks in advance.
