Yet more resolution setting fixes. This time for those using DPI settings other than 100%.

It's insane how complex the res setting system on Windows is!

Cheers,
Steve.

- Added a number of galaxy presets to use when creating a new galaxy.
- Fixes for galaxies changing between runs.

This update may change some existing galaxies, I'm very sorry about that. Hopefully this won't happen again.
