Yes, that's exactly what I was doing in the past, with a 0.9 version of OpenXCom. Maybe I will try to see if we can replace the toggle "letterboxing" button by a dropbox with something such as "letterboxing: no", "letterboxing: black bands" and "letterboxing: extend". Would it be fine that way?

Is it possible to show hint from dropbox?
letterboxing: no. Hint: fit display resolution by losing proportions, but preserves the original resolution.
letterboxing: with black bands. Hint: may not fit display resolution but saves proportions a by using black bands and preserves the original resolution.
letterboxing: expand view. Hint: fit display resolution by slightly expanding original resolution if necessary. That saves a proportions but may not preserve the original resolution.

It does not seem we can add hints for each item in a list. But it is possible to put a hint for the whole list. By the way per definition, letter boxing is always with with black bands, other options have to be named something else, such as stretching or extending...

I feel your pain

I fixed that for myself once. But changes were rejected :(

Thanks for this commit, someday I will try to apply it in my own build.
