Product Description:

SwitchRes X helps you manage the resolution of all your monitors. You can access to the resolutions of all your displays in a simple, customizable menu. SwitchRes X incorporates features relative to the Monitor Resolution, Monitor BitDepth, and Video Mirroring into one single utility. You can use its menu in the Menu Bar or click on the Finder Desktop with its Contextual Menu Plugin to gain access to all these settings from within every application. It even allows you to create new custom resolutions.

What's new in this version:

  • Saves desktop icons positions & windows sizes and positions with display layouts: you can have different desktop layouts (with and wihout an second monitor for example), and swicth automatically between the layouts when you plug or unplug your monitor
  • Allows to disable a plugged display without unplugging it. Uses can be: having a TV always plugged to the Mac, but not willing to use it, without having to deconnect it phyiscally; or use a laptop on external display with the internal screeen dimmed...
  • Some less important features:
  • Brings a shortcut to System Monitors Preferences
  • Corrects a missing feature where the previous resolution was not applied back after a restart
  • Shows the Blanking & Total values when creating a new timing
