1) Skins get resized to the desktop resolution. So if you have set your desktop correctly, you will be fine.
2) 1024x768 is nowhere near 16:9 (it is 4:3) - I presume like most plasmas, pixels are "wide" not square (some are even worse with 16:9... 1024x1024 panels!) ...Thank God plasma technology is fast dying to be soon completely replaced by LCD. Real "wide" resolutions are 1280x720 (16:9), 1280x768 (16:10), 1366x768 (almost 16:9) and the One And Only TrueHD 1920x1080 (16:9).
3) You will probably need one (any) of the 16:9 skins. Because of 1 above, it will be "compressed" to 1024x768 but look ok on your 16:9 screen.
4) I have some doubt that you can easily map your desktop 1:1 (no overscan) to your plasma panel.

There are currently no native widescreen skins, i.e. skins designed specifically for 16:9. There are a few mods or a couple of 16:9 skins in development which can be found on the main site downloads section, or search the skins forum.
I use Razor which is distributed with 0.2RC2 onwards, but it's development seems to have halted. Mr Mario is currently developing Crystal Centre (see his blog on the main site) which I hope will be completed and become fully maintained in line with MP releases.

I was not previously aware of the "Drive Free Space" plugin, and it is not easy to find. (There really ought to be an easier way of finding plugins.) There is this thread that introduces the plugin, and this thread that details some changes to the Titan skin made by Gary Martyn (from 2013 :eek: ).
I installed the plugin on my Aorus...
