Escales Mac OS

Mac OS X & macOS names. As you can see from the list above, with the exception of the first OS X beta, all versions of the Mac operating system from 2001 to 2012 were all named after big cats.

Extremely 10.4 only (since the user interface couldn't scale before), and included in all versions of the developer tools for Tiger (including 10.4.0).

That's really cool. One other bug: I started iTunes at 0.5 scale, but Expose thinks it's still at 1.0 scale. This causes the iTunes window to move to an area that only slightly overlaps with where I'd need to click to bring it to the front.

There has to be another hint dealing with this, but I can't find it either. But I have defenitely seen it before on macosxhints.com, anyhow it's always nice to play with the Dev Utils...

I couldn't get this to work except for scales bigger than or equal to 2 (besides 1 of course). No idea why. I have the latest update (10.4.4).

Ah, and there goes my uptime. I've played with it a bit and now top menu is unreadable and obscures windows' titles, co I can't move any of them...

No need to restart, logging out should do fine.

Would be very nice if there was a way to create a shortcut that would set the scale per application.

I can't wait for this to become the default. It was one of the most impressive things to me on the NeXT, and I've sorely missed it since.
First, it'll mean true, honest-to-goodness, WYSIWYG. Hold up a ruler to the screen, measure something. Print it out, and it'll measure exactly the same. As it is, I have to scale by non-standard amounts in design apps to see what it ``really' looks like.
Next, I won't have to keep magnifying things to make them legible. My eyes are still just fine; I can read 10-pt type in print without trouble. But 10-pt type on my monitor becomes 6-pt type, which everybody has to squint at. Even 12-pt becomes 8-pt, which is too small for comfort.
Finally, it'll make practical high-resolution displays. Imagine your display today...at 300 DPI. It'll be like always looking at a dye-sub printout! And you won't have to pull out a magnifying glass to read that 24-pt headline that's been rendered at 6 points--it'll be exactly the same 24-pt type as when you print it.
Like I said. I can't wait.

I wholeheartedly agree!! REALLY looking forward to very-high-dpi displays that render text and graphics at the correct scale!!

Regarding magnifying, I can't wait until this behavior is standard with magnifying. Right now zoom just increases the size of rasterized text. I'm actually a little surprised they announced the resolution independence but didn't change zoom to work this way.

Modify individual applications interface scale factor
This can be done on a per-application basis as well, though it does screw up the size of the menubar.

For example, on one of my favorite applications, Ticker, the smallest font choice makes the window take up way too much space on my screen, so lets scale it to 75%: Perfect. I find that even with the menubar weirdness, if I click to the Finder then back to another application everything goes normal again.

Ooops commented on the wrong comment.... sorry. I meant to 'ditto' the one above.

I hope Leopard will be resolution independent as Vista is going to be. It's so important in world of high-resolution displays!

I think the real power of scaling, which Tiger supports programmatically but not through the user interface, is in enabling manufacturers to produce higher resolution displays. I wouldn't be surprised to see Apple come out with some 200-dpi Cinema Displays in the next year or so, perhaps along with the release of OS X 10.5. This would quadruple the sharpness of the display while keeping the same display area.
With resolution independence, monitors will start to work like printers: the device's resolution does not set the dimensions of the output area, it sets the amount of detail that will be output.

Yes, I hope resolution independence shuts up all the whiners who complain whenever new, higher-resolution displays come out. 'But then my text will be tiny!!'
Not if your OS works right, buddy.

Im still a little unclear as to what exactly this does. From what i understand, it makes application windows smaller, so more windows fit on the screen.
would someone post, or send me some pictures of this in effect? If it is what i think it is, its awesome!!

Maybe this will help...it is also explained a ways down this page .

Note that this is NOT the same effect you get when you use Universal Access scaling. That just makes the same number of pixels bigger. This actually renders at the specified resolution.

iTunes at 50%

this was after accidentally leaving the scaling factor at .5, and then opening iTunes. boy was I surprised. and this little app is going on the keychain to prank friends too :-p

I am starting an applicaiton compatablity list.
