Ever written an image handler? On window resize you call it and it returns the scaled down size for all static images. It IS easy and fast.

Not only does the image need resized, but you have hotspots for the buttons and so forth. Then it needs tested to make sure everything works properly.

Take into account that the drawing code in the Party client is unlikely buffered, but directly blitted to the screen. That means the entire screen drawing code needs reworked. I seriously doubt that would be a simple task.

It would be nice if things were as easy as "all we have to do is shrink the image." Man, I wish all I had to say was "all I have to do is add Pacific and Paradise and whatever support." Unfortunately, there's a lot more work involved.

If you've never worked on an application that has been written by multiple developers over the course of several years, you really don't fully understand how touchy even the smallest changes can be.
