Alright im about to loose my **** over this. when i plug my display adapter into my macbook everthing is resized. and on the screen it connected to its all blurry and blah.
I need to know how i can make my screen appear the way it normally does when there is no adapter when there is an adapter, like the same ratio i guess is what i need. it hides stuff i need on my bar and is quite inconvient overall.
also i would like to try and make that screen be part of my desktop. any ideas?

When the display adapter is plugged in, go to System Preferences and then click on Displays. After you click displays a preference window will pop up on your external monitor and your regular MacBook screen. With these two windows you will be able to adjust the resolution of both the screens.

Hope I Helped.
