Control and manage display modes on your mac by switching between standard resolutions and HiDPI ones compatible with high-definition monitors like Retina models. Testing of the functionality of the hardware with both types of media rendering is possible.

Resolution Tab is intended to help you switch between display modes. In this respect, the application provides a faster way to do that than when you follow the standard procedure. Thus, it saves you from opening System Preferences and digging among a lot of options before you can switch from the standard to the HiDPI display modes. Likewise, it can solve scaling problems when using an external monitor. Thus, it comes in particularly useful when your machine supports Retina displays.

The application is very unobtrusive as it runs from the Menu Bar. By clicking on its icon there, you can access a menu that lists both HiDPI and standard resolutions. This way, to change to the desired mode, you just need to pick the corresponding option. Moreover, if the intended resolution is not shown in the menu, you can still try finding them within the More Resolutions entry. Additionally, there is the option to set your preferences. In this respect, the only thing you can do there is to set the global shortcut you want to use to switch back to the previous display mode. Moreover, it is possible to configure the tool to start automatically with the system. more
