Freevo 2.0 _will_ have a better gui for that. The 1.7 gui was designed
without non-square pixel and stuff like that. The new gui will have
percentages.

Also planned for 2.0

Changing the gui code for 1.7 could be a waste of time because it is
very complex. I learned from misstakes and when Jason writes kaa.candy
(our new gui subsystem) I will make sure Freevo uses it correctly:

1. 16:9 skins for square-pixel (HD-TFT)
2. 16:9 skin for current TV (720x576)
3. 4:3 support for non-sqare-pixel (again, 720x576 which is close to
   4:3 but not 4:3)
