   Mystic does adapt based on terminal size automatically, but you basically have   
   to pick certain resolutions that you want to design your UI around and then   
   Mystic will select the best one to use based on the user's terminal size.   
      
   The reason for this is because Mystic is very art-centric in its intentions and   
   artists need to be able to create static art that they can place around   
   specific UI contraints (if that makes sense).   
      
   You technically could make a fully dynamic setup with some scripting but it   
   would be some work to do.  I do have some changes planned that will kind of   
   give us the best of both worlds (static art UIs and dynamic) and would probably   
   make you very happy, but I just don't know when it will be done.   
      
   There are also some third-party mods/replacements for reading functions and   
   file listers that people have done which may or may not do fully dynamic   
   adjustments without any work on your part (I have not personally tested them).   
      
   So like I said you can support larger term sizes, it just takes some work on   
   the SysOp's part because the default theme kind of sucks right now.  And if you   
   want something 100% dynamic then you need to script for now too. :(   
      
   In A47 there are msg_editor* files in the themes\default\text directory that   
   shows one way of creating templates based on terminal size that are selected   
   dynamically based on the user's terminal size.   
      
   Still plenty of work to be done though in this area...
