A while ago, DTDSphere released a nice mod for GZDoom's fullscreen mode that allowed using the standard statusbar without borders in widescreen resolutions. I picked up the neat idea and added many modifications and enhancements over time so that it can be almost called a new project by now.
IMPORTANT:
1) Requires GZDoom v4.3.0 or newer. Download v4.3.3 here.
2) Please refrain from asking for switching ammo and armor counters.
CURRENT VERSION: v5.1.7 (Mar 17, 2020)

Fullscreen Statusbar Mod on GitHub
Highlights:
- Fullscreen statusbars for Doom, Freedom, Chex, HacX, Harmony, Heretic and Hexen
- "Out of the box" compatibility with most Doom/Heretic/Hexen PWADs
- Option menu "Fullscreen Status Bar" (in "HUD Options") where you can adjust settings
- Choice between full statusbar or split bars (bottom left/right)
- 11 transparency modes: Off (0.0), custom (0.1-0.9), total (1.0)
- Optional removal of statusbar in automap view (key/armor panels in Hexen)
- Optional forcing of traditional automap colors on normal/overlay automap
- Optional level stats display (kills, items, secrets, level time) with 3 different modes (percentages, countdowns, fractions), 6 positioning options (top left/right, center left/right, bottom left/right), 25 completion colors and 4 fonts to choose from
- Optional Boom colors for ammo/health/armor numbers
- Optional replacement of mugshot with selected inventory item

BONUS STUFF:
1) Fullscreen Statusbar Mod Legacy (v4.10.3)
Last version of the mod that used SBARINFO. Since it has a lot less features than 5.x releases, only use this if you cannot run more recent GZDoom builds.
2) Ultimate Simplicity (simplicity.pk3)
Full mod with custom status bar reverted to 2005 release (no forced fullscreen mode) and various widescreen & code fixes
3) Widescreen/fullscreen fixes for Hexen weapons (hxwide11.zip --> hxwide11.wad)
Use these to avoid problems with cut off Hexen weapons in fullscreen mode. Similar patches available elsewhere only cover widescreen modes, NOT fullscreen!
