Known Issues
The HUD does stretch, which is most obvious from the tutorial sub-window in the first pair of screenshots. Interestingly enough, Horny and Peter (what I like to call the good and evil advisors that constantly buzz around your screen) appear to be treated as HUD elements despite being 3D models.
