@kerio No idea!
In the "advanced" box is a toggle for "show resolutions as list" and the in-built screen can show me a list of resolutions *or* a list of scales to be applied at maximum resolution depending on which I pick. But the external screen seems to show the list of resolutions whichever option I pick, so the only way I've found to get it to do scaling is to mirror the in-built screen to it and scale that. Of course, the screens are different native resolutions and also different aspect ratios, and one has a silly notch, so it's a fudge and I've decided to just live with it and zoom in on VSCode
@andrewt oh choosing the resolution is what "scaling" is on macos, it has no fractional scaling 😬
there should be a way (maybe holding alt while opening the screen panel) to show the difference between hidpi and non-hidpi resolutions in the list tho
@kerio oh, so they are! they look pretty good but I guess that's just because the blur is pretty small on the high DPI screen
I fully do not understand this OS
@kerio a thing I especially like* is that when the low-dpi window has focus, the menu bar on the high-dpi screen is blurry
how does this even happen
___
*no
@kerio also also also
if i want to make things bigger on my low-DPI screen, why do i have to do it by deep frying the low-DPI assets instead of scaling the high-DPI assets down?
it's like they're deliberately charging me a Third Party Monitor Tax
