I believe you. All I'm saying is that I thought you were trying to tell me
earlier that the theme BY DEFAULT is not supposed to change the aspect pf
the icons and that on your box, the aspect was being maintained by default.
Obviously, I misunderstood you. Also, I never meant to represent that I know
what I'm doing with the themes. I clearly do not. I'm banging around in the
dark, trying to figure out what is going on. Now I'm in the right spot I
assume:

<buttonlist name="channellist">
            <area>0,99,240,700</area>
            <layout>vertical</layout>
            <spacing>2</spacing>
            <buttonarea>0,0,240,700</buttonarea>
            <statetype name="buttonitem">
                <state name="active">
                    <area>0,0,250,70</area>
                    <shape name="background">
                        <area>0,0,250,70</area>
                        <fill color="#767662" alpha="180" />
                    </shape>
                    <imagetype name="channelicon">
                        <area>0,1,86,70</area>
                        <mask>guide/icon_mask.png</mask>
                    </imagetype>
                    <textarea name="buttontext" from="basetextarea">
                        <area>85,0,160,70</area>
                        <font>basesmall</font>
                        <font state="favourite">basesmallyellow</font>
                        <font state="unavailable">basesmallblue</font>
                        <font state="favunavailable">basesmallpurple</font>
                        <align>allcenter</align>
                        <multiline>yes</multiline>
                    </textarea>
                </state>
                <state name="selected" from="active" />
                <state name="inactive" from="active" />
            </statetype>
        </buttonlist>

All I need to do is add <preserveaspect>true</preserveaspect> after
<mask>guide/icon_mask.png</mask>, yes? I'm not home at the moment so I can't
test it right now, but it would help to know whether I'm finally barking up
the right tree.
