Hi Ray
>> I've not noticed the possible egg-shaped gauges <<
You won't on a conventional CRT. It's not the resolution that affects the shape of the dials but the actual ratio of the screen's height to width. If that's 3:4 your dials will stay round regardless of the resolution you choose.
If, however, you have a TFT the height to width is not 3:4 (see my reply to Vulcan). You gain, leastways you do on my 18" TFT, an extra 20mm or so in height (relative to width) so when you first switch to full screen everything, including the panel, and all the dials etc. on it, are stretched upwards slightly to fill the available space, hence the slight ovality. I guess you could say it's the reverse effect of a widescreen TV that's not properly adjusted, where everything's stretched sideways to fit and all the actors look very short and fat!!
This can be cured by resizing the panel (by dragging the top edge down), gaining a larger view of the scenery at the same time which can only be a good thing.
