📋 About This Mod

Description

A simple fix for game map borders for playing on an ultrawide monitor (21:9) with the DarNified UI mod.

A DarnUI mod interface configuration file for ultrawide monitors is also available (optional).

Everything tested at a resolution of 3440x1440 (21:9)

Installation

I highly recommend making a backup of the “map_menu.xml” file before installation, its location: Oblivion\Data\menus\main

  • []Download files  (I recommend manual installation, but you can try using a manager if you want).

    []Extract the files to the main game folder, agree to replace the files.

    []Make archive invalidation, if it necessary for your version of the game.

    []Done.

    Alternative option if you don't want to replace your "map_menu.xml" file:

    []Download files manualy.

    []Extract the files to the main game folder without "map_menu.xml" file, agree to replace the files.

    []Make archive invalidation, if it necessary for your version of the game.

    []Find your "map_menu.xml" file its location:Oblivion\Data\menus\main

    [*]Open it with Notepad and find the following lines (and change the numbers as written below):

    <image name="map_local_map_frame_bottom">

    <filename> <copy src="darnui_settings" trait="_mapborderbottom"/> </filename>

    <depth> 102 </depth>

    <width> 1000 </width> <---  Change this number to 1236 (for 3440x1440)

    <height> 32 </height>

    <x> <copy src="sibling(map_local_map_frame_top)" trait="x" /> </x>

    <y> 820 </y>

    </image>

    <image name="map_local_map_frame_bottom2">

    <filename> <copy src="darnui_settings" trait="_mapborderbottom"/> </filename>

    <depth> 103 </depth>

    <width> 1000 </width> <---  Change this number to 1236 (for 3440x1440)

    <height> 32 </height>

    <copy src="screen()" trait="width"/>

    <add> 10 </add>

    <sub src="sibling(map_local_map_frame_right)" trait="width" />

    <sub src="me()" trait="width" />

    <y> 820 </y>

💡 Beginner Tips

  • Make sure DarNified UI is installed first, then drop the fix file into the same folder as the mod's map interface files.
  • If you're using a mod manager, check if it supports loose files—otherwise, manually place the file in your Data folder.
  • Test the map in-game after installing to confirm the borders align correctly with your monitor's aspect ratio.
