I have a 16:9 display and I tried that. That didn't work. Looks like there has to be a new way to get rid of the borders as I am testing with a 4:3 resolution I have.

I am hoping we have misunderstood each other.

1. In FWS Detection Override, fill in these details & try the game (if your resolution is 1440x1080):

Width: 1440
Height: 1080
Hud Width: 1440
Hud Height: 810 (which is 1440/16x9)
Horizontal Display Count: 1
Vertical Display Count: 3 (fake top & bottom)
Hud X: 0
Hud Y: 135 (which is 1080 minus 810 divided by 2 = height of fake top)

2. Worse idea:
For certain problems (e.g. your letterboxing problem: bars on top & bottom), a single-fix won't work for other games.
This is because every game is different (re letterboxing issues & code required to fix each case). You need complex per-game fix.
So if this tall-resolution-fixer tool was created, it would require a plugin (with testing & development) for every single game it supports. This will not happen, tall resolutions are not popular enough.

3. Better idea:
What may happen, however, is the improvement of FWS. This is your best & easiest hope (followed by hex/memory edit, very hard for letterboxing).
So I am suggesting you try hard to get FWS to work. And if it won't, contact FWS developer & state your 4:3 issue. And state above test you have attempted & failed.
FWS has the potential to fix 4:3, using above monkeying. If it doesn't work, FWS should be improved by the developer to allow it. Thereby supporting 4:3. This specific feature you should request.
