Cool Who would like this feature?

If you have a TiBook then you know the disappointment when you go full screen in Marine Aquarium, expecting to get the widescreen layout of the tank, but get the normal layout. Does this cause bouts of depression, muttering under your breath and other signs of displeasure?

The problem is that the ratio of the width to the height on the TiBook display (1.498829) is a VERY TINY amount the wrong side of halfway between the optimal ratio for widescreen and narrow. That halfway point is 1.5, so you can see how little the bias would have to be.

If you had a check box which would allow you to bias the decision towards widescreen slightly, would this make you happy?

I was thinking about a "force widescreen" check box, but this doesn't work for someone with a TiBook driving a second display which is 4:3 (normal) as well, as the wide tank on a 4:3 display is severely distorted.

Would you rather that we just bias the decision without asking?

Please comment. I don't have much time to slide this in.
