Hi, I could do some testing on that later if needed but I wanted to ask:
- are you on Win10?
- are you absolutely needing DxWnd against possible good(better?) alternatives in dedicated mods? (https://www.moddb.com/games/diablo-2/downloads)
I know first hand it may take a day or so to make up mind what to use and how to set up this game in personally best way but it's well worth making the research.
There's is a drawback in that it supports only patch 1.12 but after thorough consideration I concluded the later patches from Blizzard hardly introduced anything meaningful against this excellent resolution patch, so I stayed with version 1.12 to use it.
If you would like to refer to this comment somewhere else in this project, copy and paste the following link:
I've made this profile and it is working on Windows 10 x64. The game has LoD expansion installed and it's on version 1.14d. So far I had no problems. The exe used is "game.exe" and not "diablo II.exe", mind that since "diablo II.exe" acts like a launcher for "game.exe".
Has anyone had any luck with the current version of Diablo II? (Blizzard has continue to patch it for many years since release.)

Just as an example, I was using this widescreen mod:
