Non-Native Resolution Support?

I've recently set my 16:9 1920x1080 display into a widescreen resolution, making black bars appear on the top and bottom (which is going to happen, that's not the issue I'm having here.)

 

The issue I have is getting all the apps on my computer to work/be compatible with this resolution automatically without having to manually set each of them up? Is there a way to do that?

 

The resolution my monitor is set is - 1920x810! 

I want to somehow make sure all my applications and games will run at that resolution. Help?

I'd imagine it's simpler than I think, my apologies.

For full-screen exclusive applications, if you haven't set it up before, it's just going to go with whatever default it thinks is appropriate. That's something you can't get around unless you import settings that has the resolution set.

 

For anything else, the maximum resolution is tied to whatever your desktop resolution is.

I have a blog! And a list of guides I've posted

Just set windows and your GPU to that resolution?

I know it's not your question but if you don't want the black bars you can change the scaling option in your video card driver to something like "full screen" in stead of "aspect ratio".

 

Not sure how you mean "make sure all applications will run at that resolution", it should just appear as an option like any other resolution, you mean it isn't? Or you mean it isn't picking it by default? Fixing the former is easy, fixing the latter is impossible.

I think I get the drift. It seems, like you guys said, not all applications will support the resolution at hand. I'll just have to deal with that.
