Bonjour,
Une chose qui serait interessante, c'est que la résolution puisse s'adapter en fonction de l'application que l'ont lance.

Hello,
One thing that would be interesting is if the resolution could adapt depending on the application being launched.

    @waydabber this would be nice for handling scaling of apps with smaller UI elements while leaving the rest alone. For example, I have a 5120 x 1440 display. I prefer to use the max resolution as it gives me more space to work with many applications. However, text size can be smaller and some apps too small like Unity. The Unity editor text size is awful at this resolution, but at the next down (3840 x 1080) its perfect for me. However, I don't want to lose screen real estate, just increase the size of the Unity Editor and the Unity Editor does not offer a text size setting or a UI scale setting.

    But the resolution affects all apps on a display - and apps can't have different scalings on the same desktop in macOS (a workaround might be to create a virtual screen, move the Unity window there in full screen and have a resizable PIP window of the virtual screen on your real display)
