Bought. Nice. One thing: the icon has ended up as the far-left icon in my menu bar, and vanishes at anything less than full resolution. I might need to get BarTender, to help deal with that, but perhaps you can do something to help. Maybe I just need to learn how to arrange my icons in a particular order.
Unfortunately third-party MAS apps can only add items to the menu bar, first come first served. The last item is added on the left. You have to run EasyRes before the other apps to get its menu bar item to appear first. Apple's system menu bar items appear on the right-hand side, and can be moved around using command-drag. We don't get access to that, unless we use private APIs (like iStat Menus does) but then we cannot distribute via the Mac App Store.
Thanks for the tip on Bartender. Now I can hide all those crufty work-provided menubar items and also the super-useful-but-not-deserving-menu-item-space apps like F.lux
Very interested as several apps I use regularly - screenshots (⌘-Shift-4), webex single-app sharing, screen flows, where this tool would be much much improved over SetResX + Display prefs.
$8 seems like a quite a bit, but is actually not that bad for the convenience. Love the preview, just not the bouncing zoom animation.
This is cool man. I use an MBPR and never knew how to get back down to 1x resolutions. Just saved me a couple of steps in my workflow. Wasn't sure how useful the animations were going to be, but turns out very much so. Solid tool; much obliged.
Retina screens in particular are usable at various resolutions. I find myself often switching resolutions on my Retina MacBook Pro, depending on how much screen real estate I need. Which was what inspired me to build the app.
That is true. However, a Retina display has such a high pixel density that many of the scaled resolutions are very usable. In fact, OS X does not even give you an option of using the maximum (native) resolution (2880x1800 on a 15" RMBP). EasyRes does, of course.
