So i use two monitors, but they're different sizes so its not quite a stretch it across both type thing

What im hoping to do is basically get a wow window thats like 1600x900 however I cant simply stretch wow itself to that as it auto changes the height when i adjust the width

Ive looked into using the program Maximizer, which lets you work around certain "windowing" things, but it wont let me set it to that resolution, and i dont believe it will let me "unlock" the auto-fix that changes the height when i change the width.

Any suggestions?

heres a screenie hoping that helps get the idea across (not to scale!) what im wanting is that extra 2 inches or so on the far left, using a viewport addon I can setup a bar over there and put all / most of my UI elements in it

currently my keyclone is "expired" (just waiting on the email tag with the keyclone guy hehe) but I think i remember messing around with it when i tried out MBoxin and it had a slightly different type of maximizer built into it that you could essentially draw your wow window size without much text based configuring and i think it would let me accomplish my goal... but im just wondering if anyone has any ideas! since my keyclone is still in the not usable state

maximizer will force whatever resolution your wanting into the size u tell it, maximizer can handle all that you've asked. after u tell it what region belongs to which wow, and specify the size of the window, you don't have to use the presets that are in the box with the resolutions, u can type in anything you wish, by default it automatically splits your screen resolution into the desired number of boxes, but u can manually tell it what to do as well

If you edit the [SET gxResolution "YYYYxZZZ"] in your wow/WTF/config.wtf file, you can set the resolution to anything you want. I've never had it not work with any aspect ratio I've tried, and I've tried some pretty wacky ones.

Keyclone can do this with its maximizer as well, and in fact, I believe it does it with this same interface.
