Things start to get confusing quickly uh... I understand what you mean
though. Just thinking between the resolution of the images and the
resolution that directfb will set the image (stretch) when it doesn't
match the actual size of the screen set at boot by the kernel.

Wouldn't this value be better if it was placed inside
<progressbar></progressbar> ? I applied your patch as is for now (with
very minor changes to keep the code looking consistent with the GNU
Coding Standards -- variables defined: foo_bar instead of
java-like/c++-like fooBar )

i'm glad you sent us this ;-)

If you can, please send the "print" implementation. I'm still having
problems with displaying a overlay window on top of splashy when users
press F2. The code is on splashy_video.c if you want to peek into it.
