Custom HiDPI resolutions support #11

Open gochev opened 7 years ago

gochev commented 7 years ago

Currently my screen has a different aspect ratio then the normal one and because of that all HiDPI resolutions that I can choose from are creating a big BLACK rectangles on both sides of the screen.

It will be nice if we can write a custom HiDpi resolution since we know the actual resolution of the screen.

I second this feature. I have an ultrawide display and I also have big black rectangles on both sides.

Someone will have to look at the code (which is not mine), fix this and send me a pull request. If I get updates I promise to update the package and put in on the Internet.

@kujohn I have a workaround that may work for you, which I used to set a custom resolution of 3440x1440. One thing to note is that RDM does not instruct the OS to set width and height, rather it instructs setting to a preset mode. RDM enumerates these modes to drive the main menu.

So what we want to do is specify a custom mode. To do this I used another utility SwitchResX, which includes a Control Panel for creating these. Importantly, you will have to disable SIP before the OS will let you create a new mode.

Once you do so, the new mode will be available in the RDM menu and you can uninstall SwitchResX and re-enable SIP. Selecting the new mode should work just like any other.
