Stop backgrounds from stretching....

I'm using Skapers "mix" images instead of fanart as I find them more consistent. Problem is they're 800x600 and when they're loaded as a background in a Big Box theme or during the Loading screens they're enlarged to the width of the widescreen display which means the top and bottom are cut off. Is there a way to stop the images being manipulated and made to fit the screen?

What are Skapers mix images?

Ask the creators of those themes if they can help you. I guess that if you edit the themes you can make the background images to not fill the screen, but you'll end up with either awfully stretched backgrounds or black bars in the sides.

In my opinion, the alternatives are worse than what you're getting now.

Image of mix image attached above. I'd much prefer to have a black bar on either side than how it looks now, especially given that the edges are usually partially hidden by Big Box anyway. As it stands, the text at the bottom is pixelated and half cut off, and the box on the left is only a quarter visible.
