Hi Andrew, Dischi & the rest, I posted it already over a year ago, but I have a working setup for my 16:9 plasma TV (848x480), together with a 16:9 theme that I designed myself. It's running perfectly at home for about 2 years now. Unfortunately, I don't remember all my changes as I also did a lot to various plugins and even wrote some plugins myself, but I can provide diffs to a 1.5.x tree. I remember that I had to change quite a bit, in order to get everything working correctly. However, many changes may have been just due to the MGA FB setup I'm using.
