Allow me to introduce y'all to the new social phenomenon of FRACTION RAGE!!!!!!!
THERE AIN' NO SUCH THING AS 16:10!!!!!!
16/10 = 8/5!!!
GET IT RIGHT!
I feel so strongly about this that I've written about it on my blog and created a hashtag: #FractionRage
Normal discussion may now continue.

Well normally I'd discuss the fact that aspect ratios are completely different to fractions, but......

This must be some dialectal usage of "completely different"? #AspectRatioRage is too long to be an effective hashtag. But now you've mentioned it, it should be #RatioRage, not #FractionRage, because it is more correct and three characters shorter. Luckily, #FractionRage hasn't caught on yet.
RT if your blood boils when you read 16:10 instead of 8:5.

There's another reason any mention of "16:10" monitors enrages me, and that's because they are - by a long way - my favourite shape, and they are impossible to buy now. 16:9 displays are "okay" for television, but are next to useless for computers. If I can't have an 8:5 monitor, I'd rather have 5:4 than 16:9.

Excuse me for waking up this thread, but i've only just come back to oolite. Anyway i'm using escort contracts 1.7.1 but when i use the toggle chart screen it's blank apart from the text at the bottom stating location/price and risk info. I haven't a clue how to get it to work. All the other contract screens work with XenonUI, just not the chart screen that shows the planets. At least I got as far as over-riding escort contracts with your cool XenonUI. Any help on resolving it? Please!!!
I've got a fix for this in the works as well. In the meantime, the quick fix is to open the OXP, edit the "xenonui.js" file, and in the "startUpComplete" section, where there are a bunch of similar lines, add the following:

Save the file, then restart Oolite holding the shift key down until you see the spinning Cobra.
That didn't work either for me, still same issue.
I used this to get the effects below, which is exactly the same as i had before my original post. In short, it didn't work!
//this.$addMissionScreenException("escort-contracts");
this.$addMissionScreenException("escort-contracts-map"); <===== Even without this line the pics below, same outcome.
Map not showing!
Working fine!
I can get map screen working but it's without your UI which is the opposite of what i want. I'd like the above screens working with the map chart and your UI. I hope i'm making sense.
Hm. I just tested it (using the 16:10 default font version), and it works, even without adding the line.
To make both OXP visually matching, the background files in Escort Contracts simply could be removed or (in the case of the map screen) replaced by a different one.
I like it, I think I'll keep it!
But I found a (very little) bug: If I leave the ship specifications screen, the higher central frame remains until switch pages again.
"You wouldn't kill me just for a few credits, would you?" – "No, I'll do it just for the fun!"
I've got a fix I should be able to release today. I think the current version will work (if unchanged) in that it doesn't interfere at all with the Escort Contracts backgrounds. You should just see the original images. In the new version of Xenon UI it will, by default, keep the original images but by adding one line of code (or actually just uncommenting the line in Xenon UI) it will push the Xenon look and feel onto all escort contract pages, and allowing the charts to be displayed.
I'm at work right now but hopefully I'll get time at lunch to test everything and publish an update.

I solved that by swapping out the relevant png file with another. Because i purchased loads of equipment it would overlap the smaller box when docked. Switching solved it but was annoying, solved it permanently now. <==== Ignore this bit, i was using an out of date oxz

Nice one mate can't wait to try it out.

OK, version 1.4.0 of Xenon UI is now available. In this version:
Changed new game background to the 'no hud' variant.
New title screen image.
Added mission screen overlays. Can be disabled by setting "this._disableOverlays = true;" in "xenonui.js".
Fixed issue with BGS where the F6 overlay image was being removed.
Fixed issue where exiting the Ship Library screen would sometimes show the wrong background.
Added mission screen exception for Random Hits.
@NorthenderPNE: Now, to override the background images in Escort Contracts, and keep the Xenon UI look and feel, edit the "xenonui.js" file and remove the comment marks from line 114. Let me know if it doesn't work!
