I recently switched to a widescreen (16:9) monitor. All the resolution options for Homeworld 2 are 4:3. A while back, I read that there's a way around this and get 16:9 (1600x900 or something), but I can't remember how.
TIA

Go to the shortcut that you run HW2 through, and add the following to the end of the target line: -w 1600 -h 900
So your target will look along the lines of this:
C:\\Program Files\Sierra\Homeworld2\Homeworld2.exe -w 1600 -h 900
Except obviously with your own location of the HW2.exe, instead of this one.
Thanks a bunch. This is a different method from what I read before. I remembered. It involved opening playercfg.lua in notepad and changing the screen resolution at the bottom. However, this method works great, and easier too.

Both ways work. Doing it with the shortcut means it only works with that shortcut and doing it in playercfg means it only works with that profile, though.
Has anyone made taskbar and menu images for 16:9 res?

No, the game UI is designed for a 4x3 resolution, and as a result does not scale properly. (in other words, it can't tell it's in 16x9 and just stretches)
It is possible to custom make a UI for widescreen resolutions, but as ÜberJumper wrote, the game can't tell if it's running in widescreen, so it'd have to be installed in place of the normal 4:3 interface, which could give synchronization problems in multiplayer.
As of yet, no-one has released a widescreen interface mod.
