is there anyway to put something like black bars in the empty spaces of windowed mode if i'm running a different game resolution from my monitor?
my monitor uses 16:10 and i want to use 16:9 while playing but then that just leaves empty spaces on the top and bottom of my game so i can see every behind my game (quite distracting)

Why don't you just put -h [pixel height] in your launch options to make the game run in the entire screen?

Oh hey you got TF2 running in your browser, that's cute :)
Static: that would give you a smaller field of view unfortunately :(

Have you tried 16:9 with the resolution stretched?
Or maybe try a black image on your desktop.

use your monitor setting buttons to have image size on auto
edit: didn't realize you were talking about windowed, it may work with windowed noborder but i haven't tried

Make a black image in paint the size of your monitor then open it and use fullscreen. Now just open tf2 on top of that and you're set. High tech solution.

Change your native resolution to a smaller one, set the resolution to Center Image, then switch back to native, when you launch TF2 and it you use a smaller resolution, it'll add the black bars
edit: this works with fullscreen only idk how to with windowed

If that's your preference and you happen to be looking for a new monitor in the near future, consider one of the BenQ monitors with the varying display modes. I find mine handy for games that I don't play at native resolution.

like i'm sure you know if you do borderless windowed with a smaller resolution you'll get a letterboxing effect with everything behind the game being the letterboxes.
So you could have something black covering everything behind your game, or minimize everything with a black desktop and a hidden taskbar.
