Hello folks,
I'm wondering if anyone is working on a skin (new or otherwise) that supports a 2.35:1 screen in a CIH (Constant Image Height) setup?
If not, I'm wondering if anyone would be up to porting one of the existing skins and developing support for this setup? I know I could round up a lot of interested home theater owners willing to chip in financially if anyone was up for the challenge.

If I'm not mistaken, in order for this skin to work, the display output would need to be set in that aspect ratio.
Many users with CIH theater setups are using the projector's ZOOM to handle the different aspect ratios, with everything being constrained by height of the screen. I think in order for this to work perfectly, the black bars would have to be built into the theme (unless I'm misunderstanding)?

Its been a while..
There is still no good and easy way to CIH projector setups.
The GUI zoom was the best, but at -20 (max) it still spills on a 2.40:1 screen
Can anyone help with moving some of the buttons in confluence, mainly the OSD controls.
I have looked through a lot of the xml files and compared them to abandoned CIH skins, but it is still beyond me.

I can upload what I have so far. All that is is the main screen and a few of the movie views. The background I used for the main screen was edited to have the black bars (as it still is a 16:9 resolution) but I can put an overlay in that would just cover these areas. That would mean covering parts of any backgroud you have (not scaling).
