It'd scale to fit the new proportion, although the image perhaps won't
look nice in this case. We could choose one of the following rendering
method based on option:

Center
Scaling (full)
Scaling (keep ratio)
Tiling

Actually I've though of another representation, using the font metrics
as base unit,  something like this:

+ menu {
  x = 10%
  y = 10%
  width = 30c
  height = 30c
}
