Starts off alright, but after playing for about a minute this happens, 1 and 4 seem to both have this issue, didn't test with stretched but I imagine it wouldn't happen with it, reason for not just using stretched is because it smushes things, you can see seams in the image (using steam overlay FPS counter it becomes compacted a little bit when using stretched). Notice the seam at the top of the window in this image:
I have this .ahk script I use for some games that don't have a borderless window option:
F12::
WinGet, TempWindowID, ID, A
If (WindowID != TempWindowID)
{
WindowID:=TempWindowID
WindowState:=0
}
If (WindowState != 1)
{
WinGet, WindowID, ID, A
WinSet, Style, -0xC40000, ahk_id %WindowID%
WinMove, ahk_id %WindowID%, , -1, -1, A_ScreenWidth + 1, A_ScreenHeight + 1
}
Else
{
WinSet, Style, +0xC40000, ahk_id %WindowID%
WinMove, ahk_id %WindowID%, , WinPosX, WinPosY, WindowWidth, WindowHeight
;Show the task bar again
;WinShow ahk_class Shell_TrayWnd
WinShow Start ahk_class Button
}
WindowState:=!WindowState
return
The important line is this I had to modify for NFSU2:
WinMove, ahk_id %WindowID%, , -1, -1, A_ScreenWidth + 1, A_ScreenHeight + 1
For every other game it's
WinMove, ahk_id %WindowID%, , 0, 0, A_ScreenWidth, A_ScreenHeight
but in order to stretch it to fit the screen I move it up and to the left -1 pixel and then +1 pixel to the resolution. If not, the same 1 pixel seam thing happens.
I made a .asi to test and it does work the same as the .ahk script:

static HWND g_hwnd = nullptr;

{
if (!IsWindowVisible(hwnd) || !IsWindowEnabled(hwnd))

g_hwnd = hwnd;

It's of course up to you how to implement this in Widescreen Fix, but I figured I would post a solution to this. Unlike stretched it doesn't cause the smushing.
