[QUOTE="pm-r, post: 1950414, member: 175845"] Thanks very much for your suggested help Bob, I sure wouldn't have thought of looking been any other settings other than displays, but then again I'm not an apple developer programmer either. I know scratch my head and wonder why the Apple developers would have provided a provision to have access to the displays settings and not include at least to the abbreviated resolution massages in a drop-down menu or similar. Now of course it takes three or four extra clicks to do what could be so easy but that seems to be the path Apple has been taking over the last few years. Anyway at least a sort of option is there but I would have never found without such a suggestion. I also tried SwitchresX after downloading an updated version but it doesn't seem to want to work properly or allow any registration for our old version so I had to email the developer has to how to get it working and I'm not even sure at this point if it even has an option to stay or change resolutions from the menu bar. I guess I'll have to wait for his answer. Why do such simple things always seems to have all kinds of complications associated with them these days? I guess my handicaps don't help either. 😊 At least for now, the quickest and easiest way to keep access to the display resolutions is just to minimise the Displays system settings pane window to my Dock, at least while I happened to be working on this particular project. Thank you to all those Who provided some help and suggestions, it is very much appreciated, and I still have a lot to learn about this much newer macOS version that has [URL='https://www.madrau.com/']SwitchResX[/URL] quite an experience from my jump from Mac OS X 10.11.6 El Capitan. EDIT: Hopefully with [URL='https://www.madrau.com/']SwitchResX[/URL] installed and working properly I can end up with a menu bar drop down resolution options as I found at another website: [ATTACH type="full"]40243[/ATTACH] It's unfortunate that Apple's programmers couldn't provide such a simple similar option. - Patrick ======= [/QUOTE]
