Widescreen Support

Method

Download the widescreen patch to your desktop, then as unpack the contents directly to your Thief 1/G/2 game folder.
Now browse to the Thief game folder and doubleclick on 'widescreen.bat' - a little black window will pop up, then type (y/n) if you want to read the readme,
The the next step is to select the widescreen resolution you want
It then prompts for the FOV (field of view), then input 90% - anything higher causes a slow-down issue in some FMs.
Once you have done all the above close the little black window
Now run Thief and you should now have it running in glorious widescreen.
