game only looks normal in windowed mode on my monitor

Unity Engine
1

but i want to play it in fullscreen.
developer wouldn’t fix it for me, and i’m just a gamer, have no source code, no unity.
is there some combination of command line options i can use, or other trick maybe?

it’s 1280x1024 monitor, on which this game’s UI only looks as intended in 1280x720 windowed mode.
i know with -popupwindow i can get rid of the window frame.
can i further letterbox it too, pad with black bars top and bottom to fullscreen?

There’s a player command line switch for full screen:

-screen-fullscreen Override the default full-screen state. This must be 0 or 1.

You can get a list of all the player switches here:

Scroll down to: Unity Standalone Player Command Line Arguments

with
-screen-fullscreen 1
there’s no difference from natively running it in fullscreen (which it does support).
the problem is the HUD is not displayed correctly in 5:4 ratio fullscreen, it only officially supports 16:9.
i have to run it windowed.
maybe i can somehow use some third party software to create the black 5:4 fullscreen background, and put the borderless 16:9 window inside it?

edit:
i found this Window Borders Manager:

seems to do just that, add configurable black borders to hide desktop.
plus the -popupwindow option in the game shortcut to center the window properly.
with a simple batch file both game and the borders manager can start with one click.

if anyone knows a better solution please post in this thread, thanks guys!
