Is it possible to change the screen resolution (on a Mac)?

Let me know

Unfortunately not. The game runs in a window (which is mainly a helper mode, we didn't really fully feature it in terms of changing size etc), or in 'fullscreen' - which is actually just a window that covers the whole screen. There are all kinds of problems with the way that OSX manages fullscreen when using its internal approach (i.e. it refuses to gracefully interact with notifications etc) which is why we decided to approach it that way.

If you can let me know what you would like to be able to do, I can see if it's something we can add in.

Cheers

Ideally, there would be an option in the startup screen (or in a config file) to select one of 5 configs:
-> For a 13" laptop
-> For a 15" laptop
-> For a 17" laptop
-> For a 21" iMac
-> For a 27" iMac

(each configuration having more pixels)

So that the user could pick that one that give the best diaply/performance option - Default would be the super low one that is working today...

I would gladly try different options on a MacBook Air and/or a 27" iMac

Thoughts?

I'm not sure what you mean. Currently the game will run at the size of the screen when in fullscreen. Are are you talking about windowed mode?

It's worth noting that in 'fullscreen' the game is still actually in a window, and will play nice with any other running apps.

Sorry - let me explain my train of thoughts:
=> As the game run in a window that can't be resized - Could it be possible to present a choice between different window sizes, each corresponding to a "real" screen size
=> For example, if I have a 21" iMac, I could pick:
-13" window = 1280 x 800
-15" window = 1140 x 900
-21" window = full screen = 1920 x 1080

For exa,ple, I could then select a 13" window to run the game and still have room on the dimply to see other stuff

Ah, got it.

I have added this to the wishlist for 1.6.2 (or whatever the next update is numbered!).
