[QUOTE="Andrew H, post: 185225, member: 56239"] Actually, I'm not. My current PJ is incapable of 1:1 pixel mapping. I'm using a custom-sized (1184x666) 720p-timing for my main display and a 1440x900 for my 19" widescreen. I switch between them with a profile but don't run them at the same time. I thought MP would scale the skins... I found this section [url]http://wiki.team-mediaportal.com/SkinArchitecture#head-f8b5fa2b117d0b2ec29524c5d1ff197c73772f46[/url] which states: [I]Here is an partial references.xml file for example purposes. It shows that this skin is [u]designed for a 720x576 pixel display [b](MediaPortal will scale it to whatever display the end user has)[/b][/u][b][/b] and the version is 0.1.0.15. It also contains the default values that will be used for any button control in any other skin file within this skin folder: [/I] I'm not trying to argue... it could be my old display driver, the AIW 9600XT, or the [u]skin[/u] that has issue scaling. I know if I drag the window at the home page, it resizes. It's after going to My-TV or the TV-Guide when the fonts, the little man, those MP-graphics on the top-left, and the TV preview border get all pizelated/funky and unreadable. Would using the native resolution of a skin sidestep the need for my video card to resize? Wouldn't that be the case ONLY if I run in FULLSCREEN mode? I own a new Sony AW15 and plan on going to its 1280x720 format really soon. Should I select a skin with 1280x720 native, or what are you suggestng? Thanks [/QUOTE]
