Book Hidpi Mac OS X 10

If you prefer smaller font, 1504 x 846 HiDPI (3008 x 1692 pixels down scaled to 2560 x 1440 of real screen pixels) could be a good compromise.How can you simulate a retina display (HiDPI mode) in Mac OS X 10.8 Mountain. But it's a native the best resolution for this QuadHD monitor on Mac. Yes, probably fonts are too large.

You have identified another. Recall my initial posting here said вЂњTake any Apple application that supports вЂњFull-Screen AppвЂќ mode (see ).вЂќPlease have a look at the (very long) discussion at вЂ“ you will have to sift through some diversions but youвЂ™ll see some really intelligent and thoughtful comments about this.YouвЂ™ll see in that discussion mention of another non-Apple application that can be full-screen on one monitor and leave the other monitor(s) available for whatever else the user wants. YES that is EXACTLY the point!!I am referring ONLY to APPLE applications and the вЂњnewвЂќ feature of OS X Lion (and now Mountain Lion) of AppleвЂ™s Full-Screen Apps. However, it drives me bananas the way Apple has provided full-screen apps that render other (expensive) monitors useless whenever I want to take advantage of the full-screen feature of an Apple app.Arron вЂ“ you say it is all about the application that one is using. For example take Firefox to one monitor and hit F11 and youвЂ™re in full screen (ie: kiosk mode) while the other monitor(s) remain fully available, you can even have another instance of Firefox on another monitor and make it full-screen on that monitor.DonвЂ™t get me wrong, this is not about which OS is better вЂ“ only that in my view Apple is wrong if вЂњFullscreen mode tells OS X to that you only want to focus on this app right now and ignore everything else.вЂќ That may be what Apple is doing вЂ“ or thinks users should be doing вЂ“ but I want to be able to go full-screen on one monitor and still be able to focus on other things in other monitors.Now, I can always use the green button or otherwise maximize and app on a certain monitor to get pretty much the desired effect. In that other operating system, whatвЂ™s it called, oh yes, Windows 7, you can make an app full screen on one monitor and the other monitor(s) remain available for whatever use вЂ“ even another full-screen.

This is how the Retina display modes are rendered. Can you use Quartz Debug.app from Xcode 4 to enable HiDPI modes for those monitors? When you enable HiDPI modes, it should add to the Display Preferences resolutions a list of HiDPI modes that are half the width and height of any resolution greater than 1600 wide. The MacBook Pro seems to not have that limit.It sounds like the iMacs were using their native 2560 x 1440 mode. WhatвЂ™s the greatest 16:9 scaled resolution you can create on the iMacs while they are connected to the MacBook Pro? WhatвЂ™s the greatest 16:10 scaled resolution you can create on the MacBook ProвЂ™s Retina display? I know it can at least use a 3840 x 2400 resolution for itвЂ™s 1920 x 1200 Retina display mode.For my 30вЂі Cinema display (2560 x 1600) connected to a Radeon HD 5870 1 GB card in a Mac Pro 2008, I can create resolutions up to 4096 wide or 4096 tall but the memory allowed for the screen buffer seems to be limited to something like 32 MB so the max 16:10 resolution I could create and use was 3584 x 2240. Unfortunately the Full-Screen App behaviour is problematic, to say the least.Why Apple would implement full-screen mode for its applications in the way it does (rendering other monitors unusable) remains a mysterious failing to me.Does SwitchResX enable non-Retina display modes on the Mac Book Pro Retina display (such as 2880 x 1800)?You can use SwitchResX to create new scaled resolutions.
