For starters, the media flags in Aeon get downscaled to 110x72...which is not even the same aspect ratio as the 161x109.(...)
Second, if you guys are generating the xml for the images, then you can control how they are displayed. So...I don't think that changing the aspect ratio to "keep" should be that big of a deal. You already have the code at your disposal...
My main reason for wanting the 100x200 that I use is to allows for better display of studios that may have wider images. Plus, 100x200 is a nice square number.
Listen, when it comes to that .xml mumbo-jumbo, I'm dumber than a bunch of hammers. Really, I have no idea why I do what I do. I saw _djh do a great skin, so I assumed he knew what he was doing. I tested larger images (meaning: "logos taking up more of image's space", not: "logos with the transparent area larger than...") and they did not look fine on my tv. So I assumed _djh was right to pick the format he did. I didn't ask him why.
Having said that, if you believe your format works just as fine for Aeon - just let me know. I can shrink the logos to whatever size, it's all the same for me as long as they work. OTOH is consistency a question here? Should all logos be the same size?
Quote:Third, I disagree with keeping the logos shrunk down to the middle of the image. This is a waste of space. IMHO, you should make the images take up as much room as possible, and then scale them to fit within the skin. This means better image quality.
(...)Like I said...if you're generating the code for these images, I think it would be wiser to have big images that take up the whole frame as opposed to using a bunch of blank space...
Sure, the larger the image, the better the quality. Yet, from my experience the larger the logo, the less legible it is in Aeon: too large logos tend to be displayed only partially, with the rest being left outside the screen. Perhaps it's just my settings though.
Anyway, the bottom line here is that my hands are clean and I hide behind my ignorance.
I will continue to stick to the format chosen by _djh unless someone tells me to change it. Should I? Anyone checked if digitalhigh's logos are displayed properly in Aeon?

You mean those I uploaded to FF's site? Nope, I made Dreamworks based on the image posted by Scrolling, same for Blue Sky and Cetropolis. Not that it really mattered, does it.
