Regarding PLUS! XP

I ask this question every year or so. I keep
hoping to get a positive answer some time.
Has there ever been an upgrade for PLUS! XP,
in particular to correcting the fault whereby
slide-show pictures with portrait aspect only
occupy half the screen area?

First, note correction in above text.
And, yes, I just joined the .PLUS newsgroup
and asked it there also.

Bill,

Fancy seeing you here!! I have Plus! on my machine but I thought it only
catered for Themes? Are we talking the same package? If so and you can give
a bit more detail I'll have a look at mine and see how it behaves!!

Hello, John. I've had Microsoft Plus! Superpack for
Windows XP for several years.I use it only because
when I set up a slide show of my pictures (200 of them)
as a screen saver, the 'portrait' format occupies the
full screen vertically, but the 'landscape' format makes
a picture of about 2/3 of the screen vertically and 2/3
of the screen horizontally. I complain every year or so,
but nobody in Microsoft ever had any interest in fixing
it.
