Those widesscreen mods did have some issues with screendumps working differently or something. And might look strechted flattening all objects.
Another option is to let your graphic card strecht the 1024x 768 image up to max resolution. (make sure the widescreen mods are not installed) Usually the driver also has an option to maintain aspect-ratio, so circular objects do not get squashed into ellipses. That does mean you get empty black bands on the side of your screen, but I think that is more prefferable than flatted dials, or looking at fat crew. A lesser desirable effect is that the image is a bit fuzzy, since the 1024 resolution simply doesn't have enough detail as the 1920 resolution. But that is a limitation you can't solve until there are dedicated widescreen GUIs.
