Forgot about the needles. That rules out the possibility of a circular AOBF. The problem also extends to each dial background. Even if you make the dial image "square", the invisible "command" dial needs to be bigger than the dial. And dials need to have heigth=length so in effect they'll invisibly extend vertically. You need a lot of space between the dials or you'll end up clicking more than one at a time.
True, the entire TDC can be moved to OLC's "Autoupdate page". Thus, all the scope screens can remain completely blank. The Fire and Tubes buttons have to remain in the Periscope Page (actually, I think they can be moved in SH3 to the Layout page, in SH4 it wasn't possible and the game would crash).
Text is clearly out of the question. The Recognition manual is mostly hard-coded but doesn't matter since all images can be scaled.
The map isn't a problem, as the mouse will always move a bit faster horizontally. I don't see any need to rescale it. We only need to remake all of the images.
Text is a problem and it will always be squashed.
But the needles..... there's a deal breaker. Or not... If the needles are simple lines, I could make an overlay with a hole in the middle so the "Extra" length will disappear under it. It would look ugly tho... and no AOBF.
