THE UPDATE IS FOR STEAM USERS, PLAYING THE ASPYR VERSION IN 2K.

Title: Widescreen UI Fix for Knights of the Old Republic 2: The Sith Lords
--------------------------------------------------
Special Thanks to the following individuals:
Alien - For the original version of the 16x9 mod, without which none of this would have happened.
tk102 - Since GFFEditor broke stuff and KGFF saved the day, teekay deserves some recognition for his awesome (TSL-friendly) tool.

As you can see, Alien's work is remarkable. Unfortunately, v.1 has some issues with the Actions UI in the lower left (mines and force form are borked, and the action description hovers over the menus rather than displaying above, making the arrows a pain to use).
After some digging around, I was able to fix these issues and am releasing the fix with Alien's permission.

What's New in Version 4.1 See changelog
Released
- v4.1
- Readded v3 as an download option for GOG users
- v4.0
- Support for 2k
- Mostly left the main UI alone except to fix a bug with action bar description
- Most of the extent of the new mod can be seen in the menus, where UI elements have been resized for consistency or to resolve skewing caused by upscaling from 800x600.
- -New in 3.0
- * For 1920x1080: The UI has been been completely re-written. Alien's original version with all fixes up to 2.02 is included in this download. Players with 16x9 should install either 3.0 or 2.02, but not both.
- * For 1680x1050: Gameplay buttons have been consolidated (I really liked how this turned out in the new 16x9 version and applied the changes here as well). A bugfix has also been applied that resizes and relocates the level-up and debilitated decals for Char1 party member avatar.
- -Fixes in v2.02
- * Fixed issue where Item Lost indicator was placed in the same location as the Alignment Shift indicator. This fix is only recommended if you are using the 16x10 version of the mod.
- -Fixes in v2.01

- * "bark bubble" will now appear when mini-map is disabled (both 16x9 and 16X10).
- -Fixes in v1.54
- * Resized NPC name and health bars to correct 16x9 dimensions.
- * Resized all minimap elements to correct 16x9 dimensions.
- * Applied all 1.1 and 1.4 fixes to "clean" download of Alien's original .gui file in order to resolve character portrait issue introduced in v.1.4 (caused by me monkeying around, trying to make it pretty for 16x10)
- -Fixes in v1.4
- * Bug that inaccurately displayed enemy health has been fixed.
- * Buff decal for 3rd party member's avatar was set to the incorrect height and would not display
