Actually trying to do this now, and unfortunately, the widescreen mod actually isn't that great for PS:T. I'm experiencing severe lagging issues when I try to fix some fog of war rendering problems, and most everything is forced into the upper left of the screen anyways (menues) and the dialogue menu is forced into the lower left, which doesn't really help things at all.
For me, personally, the game is unplayable with the widescreen mod.
EDIT: I managed to fix the rendering problem without getting the lagging problem, but the game...still has problems in higher resolutions. All the menues are forced into the upper left at 640x480, same with all the on screen text. The entire thing really distracts from gameplay, and generally makes it really annoying...during dialogue, the screen "centers" on the upper left since the dialogue is in the lower left. Unfortunately, the mod maker doesn't seem to plan to fix the GUI to change these things....so, still, the game is still pretty annoying to play at higher resolutions, unfortunately.
This mod is excellent for BG2, but for PS:T... no dice.
2nd EDIT: The lagging/fog of war problem comes from enableing the Software Transparency BLT, which isn't related to the widescreen mod at all...its a problem with newer video cards, like my 8800 GT. Looks like I'll be replaying this on my laptop...
