I've searched the forum, but haven't found much information related to anamorphic widescreen displays. I realize they are probably pretty uncommon, but they do exist in the projector world. I have a 2.39:1 ratio projector screen, and I would like to be able to set my desktop resolution on my HTPC to 1920x820 and run XBMC at that ratio. I can do this now, but the skin always gets stretched out, and doesn't look right.
How much work is required to make a skin compatible with a 2.39:1 aspect ratio? Would this involve essentially a "start from scratch" approach, or can a skin be modified to another aspect ratio without starting from scratch? Are there too few people out there in my situation to warrant such a feature request of an existing skin?
In the meantime, it would benefit me to be able to run a 16:9 compatible skin in my 1920x820 resolution without stretching the skin, and be able to play 2.39:1 aspect content at fullscreen. Can anyone tell me if this is possible?
