2D Art
Voller:
@Zenerka: can't you just centre any narrower images horizontally, rather than stretching them? So if it has a width of 150, it gets a transparent border of 45 on each side?
Blywulf:
@ Voller: It still wouldnt solve the issue as all the narrow images would become so small that they'd look like thumbnails.

Clearly the only option is to restructure the UFOpaedia to make more room for art as well as text.
Also, Zenerka, why are the research result images being displayed in the research screen before they are researched? That's not the idea . . .

Not necessarily. If you consider the not really nice one, for example: why would you need a square version of it? Aliens (same as humans) tend to be long and slender, rather than squarish, so any square version would not add any extra detail or information. The height of the alien stays exactly the same.
The same is true for weapons, which should possibly be centred on the vertical. Or even grenades, centred vertically and horizontally.
I'm not saying that extra detail isn't good. I'm saying that, if there is no square version of a picture (for whatever reason), there is no need to scrap or redo it.

If it happens then maybe it would be a good opportunity to introduce some alternative designs. Not just for the paedia but for all the other menus and windows as well (I do understand that only the UFOpaedia's layout would change, the rest would have to stay docked as it is at the moment).
@ Voller: I know what you mean but I still would consider those scaled down images a bit too small. If I had known right from the start that their size would be so small I'd have called for more artwork space before I the images were done. :)
