Why isn't there proper widescreen support?

[DarkZenith]

It isn't exactly hard to code the ui to support widescreen... all they have to do is draw the vertical stretch of an object based on %age, and the horizontal by a matched pixel ratio to eliminate the damn vertical squishing or horizontal strretching... as for the camera they just need to make the horizontal fov a larger angle than the traditional 90 (I believe 120 deg's is proper).

Welcome to the forums!

As for your question, I wouldn't know (as I use a "fullscreen" monitor myself). I guess it's one of Nival's little mysteries .
