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>
<x>
<copy src="screen()" trait="width"/>
<add> 10 </add>
<sub src="sibling(map_local_map_frame_right)" trait="width" />
<sub src="me()" trait="width" />
</x>
<y> 820 </y>
</image> - Save it.
- Done.

DarNified UI Ultrawide config preset — My DarNified UI mod interface configuration file for ultrawide screen (21:9), you can try installing it for yourself, maybe it will be useful to you. In this case, I also highly recommend making a backup of the “hudmainmenu_config.xml” configuration file, which is located along the path:

- Done.
I highly recommend taking a look at the following mods if you want the full Ultrawide experience of the game:
- Oblivion Ultrawide Main Menu (21-9) — The mod I made to fix the video splash screens in the main menu of the game for ultrawide resolution.
- Ultrawide Loading Screen Fix (by timbo345) — Fixed loading screens (no more black borders on the sides).
- Improved Vanilla Loading Screens (by haydenlake) — High resolution and contrast-corrected vanilla loading screens. ( I highly recommend using this version, but you can also try this and this one or others).
- Black Rectangle Ultrawide Fix — A fix that removes the black rectangle that appears for a short time after each load in the game world. If you have this problem on an ultrawide monitor, this is the solution. It has a slight conflict with the Darnified UI (in dialogues with npcs the background background disappears, but its blurry black frame remains, which looks bad). Solution: if you use Darnified UI, follow the path "Oblivion\Data\Textures\menus\darn" and delete/move/rename (don't forget to make a backup) the folder named "fb", this will remove the background completely, but you can set the maximum text opacity in the settings of Darnified UI which will solve the problem.
Enjoy your game and have an ultra-clean ultrawide gaming experience! =)
