Check the thread again. Timeslip has said he'll likely implement it next week. Also, by default WSM adjusts the FOV to 100. That's correct if the original 4:3 FOV was 90.

is 110 correct for 1920x1200 in SS2 ?

This value is in percent, not in degrees, meaning that 100% is always the value that gives you the "right" field of view. This option is for people who like to play with an additional increase in fov. Modifying it results in "zooming" in or out. If you liked the way SS2 looks like on a 4:3 monitor then you should enter 100. The mod automatically takes your resolution into account. If you play in widescreen then you will see the same amount vertically and the horizontal view will be naturally enlarged to account for the widescreen aspect ratio.

You can't change the resolution of those unfortunately.
Well, you can... but you have to redesign any affected parts of the interface to accomodate it.
More importantly, the interface as a whole is hard-coded to a native 640x480 resolution.

Thanks for the explanation, WL. And Timeslip has already quickly posted the patched DLL for DDfix so that it forces menus, maps, and videos to 4:3. Awesome!

That would help allot in getting Ss2 menu's into high res. that being stuck in 640x480 is a shame.
Btw checked out the dll, wow it works perfect.

No it wouldn't. It would only help for correcting the aspect ratio distortion in widescreen modes. Which really, isn't worth the effort.

Getting a 640x480 .pcx to a 1600x1200 .pcx would make it higher res. because stretching a 640x480 img to fit a 1600x1200 in a 4:3 ration makes it blurry.
And yes it could fix the aspect ratio of the menu if you stretch it to full screen in a 16:9 and 16:10 but the .dll fixed that by putting the menu in a 4:3 ratio. and thus keeping it out the full screen situation.
Besides that If its worth all the trouble is always a good question. But I'm just saying it, not demanding it.

It also wouldn't fit on the screen.

Anyone else having problems clicking anything on the inventory? Is there a fix for that?

....... wait whut ?
If you change the ss2 native resolution to 1600x1200 for example then it would, but yes atm its 640x480 so the 1600x1200 .pcx would not fit.
But we know this already. That is the whole problem, you talked about redesign the native 640x480 resolution to accommodate to a higher resolution.
Lets recap on how stupid that comment of you sounds.
We discuss the native resolution of the main menu what is atm stuck at 640x480. With that low resolution you can only get .pcx images to fit if they are also 640x480 if you do higher you only see a part of the image.
You suggest changing it to accomedate higher res. I then say changing 640x480 to 1600x1200 making it possible to use a .pcx image of 1600x1200 would make it higher res and not have the problem of fitting.
You then say its not a higher res if you do that. I disagree because at native resolution of 640x480 with a 640x480 .pcx the game stretches the menu over the screen to fit it (ignore ratio that is another discussion) making it blur. But getting a 1600x1200 .pcx on a 1600x1200 native resolution would not make it blur.
You then reply that it would not fit. And at that moment i think you don't understand what we are talking about anymore.
