The MaGui mod - Final version

Desktop being in 1920x1080 doesn't mean SH3 runs in that resolution. The screenshot is 4:3 aspect ratio. Did you resize it because it looks like 640x480?

If you haven't set the game to run in a custom resolution then the game will run in 1024x768 by default. And yes I can run the game at full screen at 1360x768 by stretching the image with the nVidia control panel and the UI will cover the entire screen but then all the 3D stuff in the game will be really blurry and pixelated because of the low resolution. What I'm looking for is running the game in 1920x1080 in full screen so the 3D world is nice and sharp as it matches the native resolution of my screen and having the UI graphics stretch out to fill the screen.

I don't think it's possible though. Every other game, even old ones let you choose your resolution in-game but SH3 originally only runs in 1024x768 with no option to change it unless you use the hi res fix or the Widescreen MaGui. Even with a mod I think the game still thinks it's running in 1024x768 and won't rescale 2D images to fill the screen in higher resolutions. I think the only way to do it is to make a UI that is 1920x1080.
