Comment 5 for bug 538411

Traditionally the slideshow took svg source files, ran them through the GIMP to add a drop shadow, and outputted pngs. As the new design does not include a drop shadow, the svgs are no longer used. The slideshow does not scale, so the advantage that SVG provides does not apply here.

Ubiquity has always been set to not show the slideshow if the screen resolution is less than 800x600. The new slideshow height is only 500px, but the width is 816px, slightly larger than the current minimum bound for its display. As netbooks are generally 1024px wide (as you mention), we could increase this limit and still cover the majority of systems. However, as it's a difference of only 16px, lets first check with Dylan and Michael to see if we could reasonably shave off this extra space.

Michael, Dylan, what are your thoughts on this?
