Course, if you don't agree with that opinion...t'is a nice one at a good price. Too much of today's music is fashionable crap dressed as artistry._{Adrian Belew}

Post #281,323 by folkert 4/11/07 1:49:02 AM Reply	21"... I have everything setup in X, so that the 1280x1024 Firefox, OO.o Writer and so on have the same actual size on the 1600x1200 screen. Now, if I went to 2048x1536... even for ME that is quite a bit smaller than I;d like. 1920x1440 was small as well. I don't envy anyone needing 1280x1024 @ 21" size. Yikes. -- [link\|mailto:greg@gregfolkert.net\|greg], [link\|http://www.iwethey.org/ed_curry\|REMEMBER ED CURRY!] @ *i_wethey* Freedom is not FREE. Yeah, but 10s of Trillions of US Dollars?

My iMac has 1920x1200 on a 24" screen which is great most of the time, but there are times (early morning/late evening, mostly), when I just want to put it into Blind Man mode with Really Big Words And Pictures.

You have to install the developer tools to get to it, and run the 'Quartz Debugger' utility to switch it on. That feature is resolution independence.
