    Hi,
    I must confess that I am also using Magic-FHD instead of Magic-HD-Night (I used for ages).

    Switched to VIXBNMĈ_1020_Confluence.
    There are however some plugins which have not been neatly adapted to HD skins.
    Samples: Wikipedia - virtual keyboard is not centred and some keys are not visible - pictures are not visible
    MP3Browser - After exit of plugin it sometimes happens that I have a 720 resolution and need to restart GUI
    Netspeedtest - Layout and fonts are too small and you need a magnifier for reading.

    The problem is, that you don't find people actively maintaining the plugins.

    Enjoy!

    What surprises me is that so many people are still using 720 skins. It a bit like having a Ferrari and never taking it out of first gear.

    But it also has a daft spacing between menu entries, which makes the System menu span two screens unnecessarily.

    Do you mean the setup menu?

    Yes.
    So why do you see it all on one screen while ccs and I have to go to the next screen to reach Vix (for the backup/image manager)?
    Or was that after your change to the skin?

    The cell height is 900; The ItemHeight was 75. The next smaller integer that multiplies into that size without remainder is 60. That give 15 items per page instead of 12. I've pushed that change.
