What you have above is exactly what I had in mind.

The chat windows may need to be arranged in an unorthodox fashion, including but not limited to having the game area shifted completely to one side in order to maximize vertical space, with all the other UI elements mashed into the right or left side of the game area.

I haven't optimized this myself yet which is why I have asked for it. Every time I go to get it dialed in something happens and I end up at square one, and then not playing enough to take the hour + to get it dialed in again.

It doesn't help that I have a "3k" resolution display (still 16:9) when I dock my laptop, then a standard 1080p when it is undocked which also makes havoc with the game.

But you have the right idea. How to make a 4:3 viewport work best in a 1080p scenario is a matter of personal opinion. It won't look as clean as your first setup that is for sure.

Take note of how much less zoomed in and weird the game looks when you're in a 4:3 viewport, and you might find it worth the trouble to optimize that setup.

In any case your work here is great already thanks for the contribution to the community.
