I'm playing the game on a widescreen monitor (as I assume most people are these days), and the game is stretched to fill the entire screen, regardless of the "black bars" setting in the AGS config menu. Promotional screenshots appear to show the 4:3 aspect ratio rather than 16:9... am I mistaken? Wondering if I may be overlooking a setting somewhere.

Sorry for such a late reply! The AGS engine is indeed notoriously unfriendly to widescren monitors. If the "black bars" checkbox does nothing, I would suggest having it unchecked and instead find a setting in your graphics card control panel to retain the aspect ratio instead of stretching the viewport.

That's unfortunate, as widescreen monitors are the norm nowadays, but understandable I suppose considering the age of AGS. Oh well, I'll leave well enough alone. Thanks for the reply.

Is there a solution for this on a Mac? I bought Kathy Rain for a friend to use on her mac and the game stretches to fill the screen. It doesn't appear that there is a setup app within the file structure that includes the "Black Bars" checkbox.

Can you check if version 1.0.4 of the game works better on your Mac? We've recently released an update for the game and it's available in your account or via Galaxy :)

This solution didn't work for me. However, I was able to play the game by simply checking the "windowed" option in the AGS config menu.
