Hello Nakk

How do I change the fullscreen resolution settings?

If G-Force enters fullscreen mode, it will maintain whatever display resolution mode the system's display devices are already using. If you wish to change the resolution mode, exit G-Force, modify your display device resolution settings in Windows or OS X, and restart G-Force.

I would suggest you stay with 1680x1050 as you have no problems with that resolution. Maybe that's the resolution G-Force defaults too on your system.

Hello Nakk

I have given you all the information in the G-Force documentation, I believe you should now contact SoundSpectrum direct by clicking on the following link:-

I'm going to butt in, with a thought...

maybe it has something to do with 1024x768 being a ratio of 1.333 and 1680 x 1050 being 1.6 ... To complicate things 16:9 is 1.7777. Scaling to different ratios is always going to be SOME compromise.

I would guess if the logo was originally created in a 1.333 ratio, things at least wouldn't be cut off...maybe... but what do I know

I would FIRST create a 4:3 source and see how it displays under different display ratio conditions...

If you want to do some work, the scripts command reference(Win7 RE: C:\Program Files (x86)\SoundSpectrum\G-Force\Scripts\Script Command Reference.txt) has forcible options (Win7 RE: C:\Program Files (x86)\SoundSpectrum\G-Force\Resources\G-Force Consts.txt - kParticleFlags_*) when using 'StartSprite()', but they may, or may not still be valid w/ 5.x. I have no direct experience playing with the options... If you go through the effort, report back your findings...
