Display aspect ratio in resolution select dialog

[Osmodium]

Preliminary checks

• I've checked that there aren't other open issues on the same topic.

Describe the problem requiring a solution

I never know which resolution uses a certain aspect ratio, also since I change the screen I play on from time to time, and if the resolutions and scales are added dynamically then you might want to know if a resolution would look good on a large variety of monitors.

Describe the possible solution

To show the aspect ratio in the screen resolution dialog would help the player choose a fitting resolution.
It could look something like this;

Additional info

I have a working prototype of it here

Hi @Osmodium if you already have an implementation, you are welcome to offer a pull request. I believe this improvement might be really handy (the specific design can be discussed in the process).

[Osmodium]

@oleg-derevenetz I have an implementation, and yea it might not be the prettiest as of now, but I will go ahead and make a pr :)

Hi @Branikolog @zenseii what do you think about this design?

[Branikolog]

Hi, @oleg-derevenetz !
For me personally, the gap between these two values is too large. I prefer them be placed closer to each other. Or adding a line in this gap connecting them. We can also align columns with respect to " x " and " : " being in center.

Or even don't change anything here and simply add this aspect ratio value into info window when we right click on some particular resolution.

[Osmodium]

I would agree that the gap might be too big, however for me to quickly see which resolutions are which ratios is harder if I'd have to right-click each individually.
I can see that the format of the lines differ depending on if there is scaling involved, but I'd be happy to make a pass of this where they are aligned closer with a format that would look something like this:
Where scale equals 1: 1920 x 1080 (16 : 9)
Where scale larger than 1: 1920 x 1080 (16 : 9) (x2)
Or other format if you wish :)

Hi, everyone.

Imo this looks OK. The problem I see with having both (2x) and the aspect ratio in parantheses next to each other is that it could be harder to see the (2x) in a sea of parentheses.

I'm more surprised to see such unusual aspect ratios like 683x384 reported. I am aware that the resolution it refers to, 1366x768, is very common. Should we omit the aspect ratio if it has a three-digit number? Or write something different?

[Osmodium]

I have tried a few different iterations of different layouts.
A) Which might be too cramped

B + C) Without and with scale.

D + E) Without and with scale.

In the layouts where the scale is displayed, it might not look so intense when only the scales above 1 is being displayed.

Visually the last variant looks best I think.
