Strong, and somewhat emotive words. I'm aware of only two bugs in
Freevo with Panorama (or, more specifically, anamorphic skins):
* The current version's "Recording status" idlebar plugin looks
vertically squashed.
* "Recordings Manager" seems to plot a background image as a foreground
image, given the former are pre-rendered horizontally anamorphic and
the latter are anamophisised at runtime, this results in double
compression.

Eh, what's "editing the images to make them square"? If a skin is
marked as "anamorphic" in the skin definition, any image which is
sourced from outside the skin (effectively) is scaled at runtime so
that when stretched with non-square pixels on a 16:9 TV it will
display correctly.

Well, it looks OK on my 32" screen running at 800x600 with VGA
connection. It looks excellent, in fact.

Yes, that's the point. But you're confusing display resolution (4:3)
with render resolution (800x600). On an anamorphic display the pixels
aren't square.

I've not seen this before, what's the tracker ID?

I look forward to seeing the results.
