Widescreen Classic HUD - Universal Edition

Widescreen version of the classic status bar HUD. Supports most scenarios!

Expands the 3D game view for any aspect ratio. Adds a second inventory page, in netgames the extra page allows the scoreboard to be separate from the inventory display.
Ultrawides are also supported via letterboxing the HUD. Better ultrawide support is currently in development.

To activate: subscribe to this workshop item, then launch the game or any workshop scenario, and go to Preferences -> Graphics -> HUD Plugin
Select "Classic M2 (Widescreen Enhanced)" from the list.

For the most "classic but widescreen" experience, I also recommend these other settings:
Limit Vertical View: OFF
FOV Override: 96 if 16:9 screen, 90 if 16:10 screen, 112 (for 21:9) or 132 (for 32:9 weirdos)
HUD Size: Largest

For non Steam players, this plugin is also available on Simplici7y:
