How to Stop Aspect Ratio Distortion

from Stardock Forums

I have a three-monitor setup but, due to limited desk space, the one in the middle is a 4:3 monitor while the other two are 16:9. In the options menu there's a "Correct aspect ratio on secondary monitors" option, but as far as I can tell it doesn't actually do anything, as whether it is on or off the image on the 4:3 screen is squashed to fit. For the one 4:3 video I have, it appears on the 16:9 monitor with proper black bars on the side and still is squished somehow on the 4:3 monitor. How do I make Deskscapes perform the equivalent of Windows' Fill setting on this screen?

I have the same issue, though my center is a 21:9 and my side monitors are 16:9, I primarily use 3440x1440 images, and they are all squashed on the 1080p monitors even with 'correct aspect ratio on secondary monitors' checked or unchecked.
