Re: aMPed 3.3.1 RELEASED - giga-aMPed for MP 1.2.x
Hi pur_berger, thanks for the feedback
I do have plans to increase the resolution of aMPed for v3.4 to scale down to 4x3 instead of up to 16:9. However, it requires a lot of changes, so I hope I get the time! It would be really helpful if you could post some screenshots/examples showing the cases you referred to, as there may be several issues. When I do it I want to make sure I catch them all. I assume you have your thumbnail quality set high? I found that made a difference, especially in aMPed. Might help in the meantime.
It is a 'legacy' issue aMPed was originally designed for 4:3 so upscaling it to today's widescreens is not ideal. Yes, there still seems to be many users with 4x3 screens on older client PCs, PC monitors, and TVs. Even on smaller TFTs it is not easy to read the font sizes many skins use from more than a metre away. I want to continue to support the minority, as there are already many gorgeous HD skins to choose from for users with HD widescreens.
If you could post a screenshot of Teletext for me that would be great. I can't use it here and I have to skin it 'blind'. If I can see the issues I can probably fix them pretty easily.
Thanks again
Dadeo
