[QUOTE="rsbrux, post: 182021, member: 49539"] That's exactly what happens now. In fact, the distortion of graphics doesn't bother me. It's the distortion of photographs (e.g. CD covers, artist thumbnails) that bothers me. The advantage of standard HTML notation, is that it supports specifying dimensions either in proportions (% of area) or in pixels, whichever is appropriate for the subject. The disadvantage of the MePo skin structure is: 1. Everything has to be specified in pixels, which requires a lot of work and makes the result less portable. 2. In the final presentation, the pixel dimensions don't count anyway. If the screen resolution differs from the skin resolution, then everything is just stretched or compressed (i.e. distorted) to fit.
