I’m considering buying a 1440p ultrawide display for my gaming machine (Linux Mint, Cinnamon X.Org). Is it possible to set certain games to only use the “middle” of the display? I ask because e.g. a game like League of Legends (it’s my guilty pleasure, don’t judge! 😂) doesn’t seem like a good fit for ultrawide, and I’d rather play it at 2560×1440 “centered” with black bars on the side.
Does anybody know? Thanks!
Doing this in reverse all the time. Stretching games on my triple head setup to full size. It’s the same principle. If the game doesn’t offer it kill it with gamescope, Wine virtual desktop or if nothing helps a completely virtual display that overlays your current:

For some editing the config files directly works wonders. Looking at you Unity!
Sounds like a job for gamescope.
Just set the game to full screen 2560x1440. The monitor does the right thing.
