Default Force mcp background non-scaling?

Hi all,
This is my first post, so apologies in case I make any faux pas.

I have conducted a few general 'net searches looking for this information but haven't come up with anything. I only found a solution after reverse engineering an existing theme.

What I am trying to achieve is a non-scaling master mcp panel, with full graduations for the meter scale.
Using the mcp_mainbg.png graphic and sticking pink lines all around the outside doesn't work, as once the Reaper program window is reduced below a certain vertical height, the pink lines are ignored and the meter scale gets squished.

The solution I have found, from Albert-C's theme ProTools-x1 is to use the mcp_main_namebg.png file. This is normally used as the background for the track name, in this case 'MASTER'. It doesn't scale, but crops off the bottom if the program window is reduced below specified limits.

I guess my question is, is this the only way round of trying to achieve what I want? It seems a bit of a 'hack' for want of a better term.
