Mac Graphics Resolution - 3/9/2010 2:27:56 AM

For anyone who is running WITP:AE on a Mac, what display settings are you using where the screen is readable? I just got a new Mac and can't seem to find a good compromise. I have a 21.5 inch monitor (1920 x 1080) and am running AE through Parallels. Just about every combination I've tried ends up with the text so small as to be almost unreadable. I have to be missing something obvious right? What screen resolution/Parallels mode/Windows mode are people using?

Note - please be specific if you respond - I've had the Mac for less than a week and am definitely still learning my way around it.
Thanks!

I run VMWare in fullscreen mode on a macbook. Your issue is specific to the monitor, not that it's a mac. YOu have a very high-resolution monitor, so things can get very small indeed.

I have my best results with witp running in windowed mode - in fullscreen I have difficulty scrolling. The problem is, no matter what size Witp is running, the text will be the same size.

Select a screen size for WitP a notch smaller than your display and try your best. -px1680 -py-1050 might work well for you.

I'm running on a MacBook Pro in window mode at 1280/800. It's quite legible.
