Is there a happy medium here?

Not really. Your options are pretty much:

1. Downsize your resolution before you play.

2. Play EQ in a much smaller window at your full resolution.

3. Both 1 + 2, as you've already done.

4. Manually resize all of the UI elements to fit your full resolution, which would be just about as hard as building your own UI from scratch. Doable, but you better brush up on your XML and get ready for a weeks-long project.

Additionally, something you can do if you want to automatically downsize your resolution when you load EQ is make a batch file for eqgame.exe, stick it in your EQ folder and then point your EQ shortcut to that. For example, make a new document with one line of text: "eqgame.exe /X 2046 /Y 1152" without the quotes, save it to your EQ directory as eqgame.bat, voila. When you run the batch file it will downsize to the resolution you want without having to go into fullscreen mode.
