I imagine it may be a syntax thing? I opened my file with text editor and am pasting the text here. The image of the Pref Setter settings is not showing up here in the forum, though I am logged in. I have tried using pref setter with the settings listed here to no avail. To set the virtual resolution for all apps or globally, search for NSGlobalDomain and add AppleDisplayScaleFactor key to that plist file.I'm hoping to get this working with my new Artist Mix and Ableton as well. If you want to return the application view back to normal, simply delete the AppDisplayScaleFactor key. Remember, you can add “AppleDisplayScaleFactor” key to any applications plist of your choice. ReLaunch Microsoft Word and voila! Microsoft Word windows will look smaller / zoomed out thus I will be able to view the whole Print window. Change the value to 0.8 or 0.9 (should be enough to make the whole window visible, you can set the value to a lower value but it’s not recommended). A new line will be added to the list.Ĭhange the key value to AppleDisplayScaleFactor and choose String for the class type.
We’re going to add a new key, go to the ‘Actions’ menu and select ‘Add New Key’ or simply press ⌘K. Since I’m going to edit the Microsoft Word plist file, I’m going to double click on the entry.Ī new window will appear with a list of stored keys inside that plist file along with the values. Plist files with keyword “word” will be listed in the windows, in my Mac there are two plist files with keyword “word”: and ws.agile.1Password. Ex, I’m going to edit Microsoft Word plist file, what I’m gonna do is to search for “word” from the application search bar. Now what we gonna do is edit a specific application plist file to set a virtual resolution for that application. These plist files are files that store the preferences for specific applications or system configuration (well, sort of ).

After you’ve downloaded the file, extract and drag the Pref Setter applications to your Applications Folder. įirst you need to download Pref Setter, grab it from the homepage (It’s Free! ).
Pref setter how to#
This trick can be done through the Terminal command, but I’m going to explain how to this using a 3rd party application. īut thankfully, you can edit plist files in MacOS to simulate a higher resolution view for certain apps or the whole system (I do not recommend using this method as a way to increase the resolution for the whole system or permanently since some apps won’t render correctly using this method, ex. To be able to view the whole window I need to increase my screen resolution to a higher resolution, but it’s not possible to further increase the screen resolution in my eeePC since 1024圆00 is the max resolution that I can get. An example is the Print window from Microsoft Office as shown in the picture below. This make some applications window/interface not visible thus making some options or buttons unusable/unclickable.
Pref setter mac os x#
I’m running Mac OS X Snow Leopard from my eeePC 1005HA and as you know, eeePC has a very low screen resolution (1024圆00).
