I agree; but the trick is to make sure we squeeze vertically not horizontally EXCEPT for image scaling. i.e. we move the coordinates towards the middle of the drawable area, but we have to scale the images vertical/horizontal at the same time. > I also would like to remove the hardcoded x positions of the idlebar > plugins.

I think we should use the skin fxd for the fonts; it's consistent with how everything else works and reduces the number of things people need to mess with.
