Arbitrary screen resolutions
It is possible to set any screen resolution up to 32767x32767 through the ReSolution plugin. Letterboxing starts at sizes greater than 6012x2902 for open-island maps, and 1920x856 for closed-cavern maps. Multi-monitor support is possible by combining this plugin with the windowed mode hack (see below) and manually adjusting the total screen resolution in the settings file.
Windowed mode hack
It is possible to run Worms 2 in a window through a windowed mode hack, either with or without the window border. It will also perform an external conversion of the 8-bit palette to 32-bit, resolving the color issues on Windows Vista and 7, as well as improving performance on Windows 8 and newer. It can be combined with the ReSolution plugin to change the window dimensions, independently of the GPU/monitor capabilities. Note that it isn't possible to shrink extend the window workspace once a game starts. The "ImproveSpeed" setting, enabled by default, synchronizes the external framerate with the monitor refresh rate. See the link for more details.
