Ah, that topic again.
Toni knows very well I'm also one of the "annoying" people that have always bugged him about centering
But he's not the only one:

Q: Currently the screen is off-center: come on, that just looks so ugly!
Bernd Schmidt (original UAE developer): Shrug. Live with it.

(from about 1998)

Ignorant reactions everywhere...
I'm not into graphics at all and I too have to state that an off-center screen is one of my pet hates. (since in my "philosophy" it can't be that you're doomed to use a (null) filter just to get the screen centered; this would just indicate that there IS an issue somewhere in modes with no filter at all that someone just didn't tackle because he thought it's pointless)

Thanks for the warning. (and also for your investigations) I don't like that either, so when doing the next bunch of HOL screenshots I will remember to stick to 2.3.1 and older in order not to get too annoyed with off-center screens; remember that all HOL screenshots are centered, never altered by filters; plus, a working centering also means less work since you (often) do not have to re-center anything and could just upload the screenshot as-is for HOL with no changes made.
