|
Requirements This version requires macOS 13 (Ventura) or later. Older versions remain available on our web site for earlier versions of macOS. |
|

|
| New Feature: | Favorite Resolutions keep commonly used modes close at hand for each display, with Apply, Details, and Add/Remove Favorite actions for each mode. |
| New Feature: | Give any resolution a custom name, independently of favorites. Names appear alongside dimensions in resolution menus and details. |
| New Feature: | Copy or export information for one display, one resolution, or all connected displays for troubleshooting and support. |
| Enhancement: | Expanded Display Tools with quick access to Display Settings, ColorSync Utility, and System Information, alongside display rescanning and ColorSync restoration. |
| Enhancement: | Refreshed menu-bar menus with Retina-ready macOS symbols, rounded Retina and aspect-ratio badges, clearer current-mode indicators, and grouped License, Display Tools, and Help and Support commands. |
| Enhancement: | Modernized Settings with a visible login-item registration indicator, live approval status, and a link to System Settings when approval is needed. |
| Enhancement: | Redesigned Detailed Information with native symbols, visual capability indicators, and clearer resolution browsing with aspect-ratio and Retina columns. Current Resolution Info opens the shared inspector from the Device tab. Technical details support multiple selection, concise field explanations, and checkmark/cross Boolean indicators. |
| Enhancement: | Resolution inspectors provide editable names and favorite controls on the left of the toolbar, with Copy and Export actions grouped on the right. |
| Enhancement: | Added sandbox entitlements and an explicit, responsive Finder Automation permission flow for remembering desktop icon positions. |
| Enhancement: | Removed unused raster toolbar images and obsolete display and login-item paths, and reorganized the project into focused engine, menu, layout, settings, and window folders. |
| Bug Fix: | Preserved name edits when details windows close or displays disconnect, including case-only renames. Resetting or importing settings no longer restores stale names from open windows. |
| Bug Fix: | Preserved older favorite names through preference migration and repeated loading. Imported settings correctly apply the Open at Login choice without overriding changes made in macOS during an ordinary launch. |
| Bug Fix: | Resolution Details shows the exact native mode requested, and display matching rejects a different monitor that reuses an anonymous display ID. |
| Bug Fix: | Custom names and favorites distinguish color-depth variants while retaining previously saved choices. |
| Bug Fix: | Available Modes lists equivalent choices once and retains the active native variant. Retina scaling and high-resolution capability are reported separately. |
| Bug Fix: | Improved menu recovery after native initialization or rebuild failures, and preserved menu callbacks while replacing menu contents. |
| Bug Fix: | Prevented overlapping decisions during unsafe-mode confirmation and kept the original restoration deadline after a failed confirmation. |
| Bug Fix: | Custom resolution names remain saved when favorites are removed. Corrected field descriptions for legacy display flags and non-preset modes. |
| Bug Fix: | Resolution commands retain the intended display and mode when displays reconnect or change while the menu is open. |
| Bug Fix: | Corrected resolution-change error handling and automatic restoration of an unconfirmed unsafe mode, including window closure and app shutdown. |
| Bug Fix: | Improved desktop icon layout persistence and restoration after a display change. |
| Bug Fix: | Prevented repeated Finder timeouts when saving or restoring desktop icon positions. |
| Bug Fix: | Resetting or importing settings correctly refreshes custom resolution names, favorites, desktop layouts, and login-item state. |
