I definitely would like to see this as I have indeed come across a use for it when using custom background images and custom shapes.

The <WidthHeightRatio> tag suggested by SmokingCookie would be good, but something which would be much nicer (yet more complex from a programming stand-point) would be to have something like:

code:

---

<Size>
    <Width>
        <Minimum>579</Minimum>
        <Maximum>988</Maximum>
    </Width>
    <Height><Fixed>2*Width</Fixed></Height>
</Size>

---

That is, allow strings defining relationships between width/height, this would in theory allow simple and more complex relationships should the need arise

Interesting(ish) scenario:

code:

---

<Height>
    <Minimum>Width*1.5</Minimum>
    <Maximum>Width*2</Maximum>
</Height>

---

eg. If Width = 100, then Height min = 150 and max = 200.
This would cause the height to remain in a certain range (between 150 and 200) unless width is changed.

Of course you would (should) be able to define relationships in terms of Height (eg. <Width><Fixed>2*Height<Fixed></Width>) as well as in terms of Width (eg. <Height><Fixed>2*Width</Fixed><Height>). Whilst the necessity may not be apparent from a Fixed standpoint, the 'interesting scenario' above could be used to limit width to a certain range depending on height just as well as it did limit height depending on width.

Either way, I hope to see some form of constrained proportions in place. I probably should have suggested this earlier but the idea kept slipping my mind
