Hi all,
I want to be able to change my display settings to 1024x768 streched?
You use to be able to do in lion but the option is not there on mountain lion, and if you change it to 1024x768 it leaves the black borders on the sides instead of streching....
PLEASE HELP.....
MacBook Pro, OS X Mountain Lion
Yep - that's what happens on my display as well - I've always used the highest resolution: never tried 1024x768 until I saw your post. Don't know of anyway around the problem of the black borders.
Sorry,
Clinton
Hi Clinton
Yeah so do I , but the prgram that we write is still in the old 1024x768 (its a POS program on windows) so I need it only for that but its quiet annoying that they have taken that away....
thanks for your reply though 🙂

No problem and, hey, I learned something new, too! That's what I love about these forums - I always take away some knowledge that I did not have beforehand.

Can't leap into my Mountain Lion testbench right now to confirn, but in System Preferences / Displays, have you enabled the "show displays in menu bar" option? And when clicking on the Displays menulet in the bar, have you checked to be sure the "stretched" options don't show up there?
Sorry, cant find the "show displays in menu bar" option in the display prefereneces...
It's not there. In Mountain Lion, the Displays options have changed somewhat:
It only shows the external display option when a display is detected.

I have the exact same problem - any help would be appreciated.
I have the same problem...
Same problem here. I may have to downgrade to Lion if there is no way round this
Same issue here. I'm really disappointed with Mountain Lion. I have a 13" macbook pro and when plugged into the projector my screen real estate is even smaller now. I tried mutliple resolutions and no luck. First major strike was with my battery performance having a 50% decline and now this issue. I may have to downgrade as well - the whole mantra of Mac ' "It just works" is not holding true anymore. Very dissapointed
Anyone got anyword on this??
Updated to 10.8.2 and still no fix??

Likewise, I had high hopes for 10.8.2. Surely, something is being done about this ?
Is anyone aware of any Apple comment on this subject. Although I do love Apple products their communication on such things is downright appalling.
My old eyes can't see text @ 1680 x 1050. The next available full screen mode is 1280 x 800 which doesn't provide much usable desktop. Please bring back the s t r e c h e d modes that offered a happy compromise. I've been fooling with Accessibility options for Display and Zoom, but they are a poor substitute at best. Doesn't Apple want seniors to use Macs?
I called Apple about this and they said they took away the setting and to complain about it so hopefully enough people complain about it to get it back.
I work at a school and our projectors run on 1024x768 60hertz which means the computer has to be on 1024x768 streched or we have black bars on the sides.
If I put ideal settings on one, the other looks bad. I can't make both screens look good.
BRING BACK 1024X768 streched please Apple
Change display settings to 1024x768 stretched?
