Hi,

Maybe you could consider maintaining the Hatari window
aspect ratio on resize?

FYI, I've recently added resizable window support to the SDL2 code
in Hatari, so if you enable the SDL2 support when compiling, you
finally can resize the window to any size now.

It works fine and is really nice!

I just wonder about one thing... Changing emulated Atari display
size, like toggling borders, will reset Hatari window resize/zoom
back to 1:1.

It's kind of nice, because I want _some_ way to reset
the window zoom factor, but other users may expect things
to work differently instead, either:

1. Hatari window *size* to remaining the same and content
     rescaled to that, or
2. Hatari window *zoom factor* remaining same and window size
     being adapted for the new content (smaller if borders get
     disabled, larger if they get enabled)

Yes, that might be an issue ... however, I'm also not sure how to deal
with that best, so I think we should simply wait for the next release
and see how the users react.

I also wonder whether the max zoom size settings in Hatari still
make sense.  They could still be used as limit on window resize
(currently it isn't with SDL2), but I think with free zoom, their
purpose has mostly disappeared.

I think it currently still makes sense to have a knob to control the
size of the borders and the pre-zooming in software that still takes
place. We might want to rework this one day (so it's easier to use for
example) - but then we should get rid of the SDL1 support first, since
the code is very interweaved with that. So I'd rather postpone this to
a way later point in time.
