well, I just found the hud-scale toggle (F5) and liked it, except that the WH markers don't change in size. Could this please be altered?

Along these lines, the HUD should respect the aspect ratio of your display. I'm using a laptop with a 1280x854 display. I figured out how to set rHUDxscale and rHUDyscale which makes a dramatic improvement in the HUD appearance, but it would be nice if it was calculated by default for those less apt to be poking through the config files.
