Default Re: Widescreen ?

I have the same problem on my laptop.
The issue is that in Dom3 (was the same in Dom2), the layout is based on a screen ratio of 4:3, which is fine for display on screen with a 4:3 resolution, eg 1024*768 or 1600*1200.
If you use a screen with another ratio (for example 16:9), then the base screen layout with ratio 4:3 is going to be mapped to 16:9, effectively stretching it horizontally.
I guess this issue is non-trivial to address, and is not a mere video-driver issue, because it requires from the developpers to change the layout of the frames (top-province frame, left-commanders frame, right-menu frame, etc) from their virtual 4:3 screen to adapt to all other possible screen ratios that exist on the market (16:9, 14:9, etc)
