Ugh. It looks like instead of simply saying "write X or /" they wrote a routine that says "starting in the corner, draw a diagonal line 45% of the way across the box", then let the boxes change size based on the frame scores.
I'm pretty sure most of you are familiar with these AMF/Brunswick? score screens.
The one thing that has always bugged me (yes, I'm petty) are how the X's come out
They aren't identical. Frames 1-3 are different than 4-10. It's a normal X right next to stretched out X
Yes, this is an OCD post...

That has to be an open bowling score sheet. League bowlers would not like those gaudy colors. Never seen a screen like that before.
Just dawned on me, the reason the 4th frame is stretched out is to accommodate 3 digit score (100+). 3rd frame max is 90 so no need for larger box. But the X should still be drawn identical on each and every frame. And 10th frame X is back to normal due to three possible score marks "X81"
Sometimes your engineers decide to take the design on for themselves. This is what you get when that happens.
How wide is the screen?
Not sure, probably around 32-40". Not too big
That would annoy me too.
