Yes, Mystic supports larger terminal sizes.

For most of it you'll have to make the theme template files for the screen
sizes you want because the default theme doesn't ship with template files other
than 80x24.

I think there is a message editor template that ships with A47 for terminal
sizes 132x36 or larger as an example but anything else you'd probably have to
create on your own (which is not ideal).

A few of us are working on some theme revamps that will better support this
stuff out the box without you having to create your own screens for it but I am
not sure when I will get that done.

Thanks for the update on this. Ideally, what I'm looking for is for the
various screens to be adaptive, e.g. scale to 80x24, 132x36... whatever the
terminal is currently set to. If that's the direction of travel then that
sounds really cool.

Tristan.
