Low Resolution HUD Problem

Hello Natural Selection people,

I'm sure this has already been brought up, but I'm stuck playing the game at low resolution, so all of my HUD elements are very large. Most of it isn't a problem except when I'm playing commander:

The tooltips and button panel cover up half of my screen. There is also a lot of HUD overlap and I can't click on the control group section at all. The total click-able area in the commander view is shrunk down to less than half the total screen space.

I have a less-than-perfect fix by changing a couple lines in GUIUtility.lua:
<!--c1--><div class='codetop'>CODE</div><div class='codemain'><!--ec1-->// Temporary to scale the commander UIs.
kCommanderGUIsGlobalScale = 0.45
local kScreenScaleAspect = 1600<!--c2--></div><!--ec2-->which produces:

which would be fine, but then I can't join any servers because I get the "Client and Server differ" message.

It'd be really nice if there was some sort of HUD scaling option in-game or at least some way I could join servers with this client-side adjustment.
Other than that, I've really been enjoying the game. Props the the Natural Selection team.

Thanks,
Smitty
