Yes, I guess it will improve the output.
Maybe I should have clamped the ratio or switched the axis for ratio < 1.0, but hey...something for the next version.

BGS-A 1.8 is online.
Changes:
- Compatibility tweak for Better Screens (see
https://bb.oolite.space/viewtopic.php?f=4&t=14454).
- Further image optimizations (stream deflate)

Screen backgrounds are not appearing with this version (no log errors) - do I need to enable something?

Hmm. Argh. Grr. Yep. screenbackgrounds.plist. *sigh*
Either rename it (remove the underscore) or download v1.8.1...

Does that apply to the
_descriptions.plist too?

No. This one is disabled on purpose. If enabled it 'clears' some onscreen messages in Oolite.

As I discovered - I'm used to spoken messages only, as I often fly hudless (the new hud on/off switch is great).

I finally got around to trying this out (been busy giving the website for the family business a makeover) and noticed something that looks a little strange..
The primary blue effect is now round again even on 2560x1024, (very cool, thanks!) but the secondary hexagonal effect is still a stretched ellipse..

The reason is - I was lazy.

I've been experimenting in the last days with the docking sequence for BGS.
The shader uses 4 maps and currently a fullscreen approach. In v1.79 it will switch to a lot faster non-scaling vertex shader, but this is not possible yet. And now I'm looking for artists to help creating some more maps (docking bays, landed ships and support vehicles). If you are interested let me know.
