Is there any way to make mediaportal default to a 16:9 sized window rather than 4:3 when not running in full screen mode?

The windowed mode always defaults to 4:3 even if using a 16:9 skin meaning I have to manually resize each time to watch widescreen tv without black bars top and below.

    There is an option under General in the MediaPortal config that resizes the window to the skin size. Unfortunately it does not work properly... Blue Two Wide becomes some wild 1355x721 instead of 1366x768, but it is still better than 4:3 ;)

    I do not know why this xml was in my theme folders, it must have sneaked in some time ago (years?). I simply removed the file. The Latest Media Handler plugin seems to be working as expected. I've had no lock-ups.

    Right, so are there any skins that are higher resolutions? I've had a look through the list and there are MP Display++ skins but no information on resolution.
