THAW launcher doesn't "break" anything it does exactly what it's supposed to do and that's reset to defaults when you close it.
How about actually reading the readme documentation, thanks.

You're not the first person to say a tool broke something when it did no such thing. That isn't being hostile that's giving you the facts.
when the app is closed the exe is restored to default.

Read the documentation.

Your widescreen fix was stated in the thread you referenced. I believe a few different people explained how to do it in a few different games, did you read the entire thread or just that one persons response?
In thaw you can either mod it into the game yourself or use the launchers custom controls to call on screen_setup_widescreen

The tool isn't intended to be a patch it is intended to allow users to play with a standard no-cd but still run a specific mod they enjoy, with a few extra options.

The screen setup menu uses that same call you just have 3 options screen_setup_standard, screen_setup_widescreen and screen_setup_letterbox.
You could easily just create a menu with 3 menu options that call on the 3 mentioned functions and eliminate the need for the custom control.

Most mods rename their qb files to something like tm_e.pak/tm_e.pab
so in the launcher you would change the prefix field to that of the mod you wish to play. Default is qb, the mod is tm.

Queenbee doesn't decompile the scripts so finding everything with queenbee is out of the question
Do a search using Queenbee for screen_setup_widescreen it'll find it for you.

You need to write your own script that would be a menu and would call on that function. You could then link to your script however you want.
You could also do a text command and have you command call on that function. Or a ground control or... you get the point.

Or, point to the screen setup menu but you need to do some more removal of isPS2 if statements to make everything show up properly.

That might have to do with the resolution settings and your aspect ratio is out of wack or perhaps your video card is complaining and causing the flickering.

Did some tests and it seems to be caused by having widescreen enabled regardless of what res the game is set to.
Only happens in some levels. Isn't that bothersome so I can probably deal with it.
