Layouts

MaLa works with two kinds of layouts, fixed size layouts and scalable layouts.
Fixed size layouts are for a specific resolution like 640x288 or 288x640 on arcade monitors. Fixed size layouts will only work on this resolution. Scalable layouts will scale to your selected screen resolution automatically. The only thing you have to consider is the ratio of your screen resolution.

* 1.33 (4:3): 320x240, 640x480, 800x600, 1024x768, 1280x960
* 1.25 (5:4): 400x320, 640x512, 800x640, 1280x1024, 1600x1280
* 1.6 (16:10): 480x300, 960x600, 1280x800, 1920x1200
* Free aspect ratio

That means a layout for 800x600 will also work on 640x480 and so on.
