[QUOTE="Bram, post: 154253, member: 17179"] I think it would drasticly imprive the image quality on my TV if there was an option to show black bars when using a widescreen skin. This way my TV would detect the widescreen skin itself I wouldn't have to switch display modes on the tv, which always has a negative influence on the image sharpness. If I watch a widescreen movie in the 4:3 mode my TV offers, it zooms the movie automaticly to fit the screen. The same thing would happen with a skin I suppose. The image would be much sharper than the "widescreen" option the TV has. When using "16:9" or "Automatic" options on my TV, the skin won't fit in the screen. I know I have a old TV, but I think a lot of people do. This could be a very helpfull function and allow the widescreen users that can set a resolution (other then PAL or NTSC) to use the skins the way they are using them now. Without quality loss. The only time when no bars should be shown is when watching 4:3 video material. [/QUOTE]
