Hi,
i hope this is the right forum for this question. I'm about to buy a PowerBook, but there is only one thing left that keeps me off. Maybe anyone has a solution to this.

I want to run a 1600 by 1200 pixel non-resizeable application. As this wont fit to the PB screen, is there any possiblity to run the app in a 50% scaled down version of 800 to 600 in MacOSX? The single application should appear like in Exposé, but not the ohter apps. Further the application should persist in the scaled-down mode and should remain useable througth mouse and keyboard inputs.

Does MacOSX support this? Or ist there any type of extension software that will provide a solution to run such a 1600 by 1200 sized app without scrolling?

Thanks,
Mario

Not yet I think. But someone will come up with it based on Exposé I think. We'll see.

Your english is very good. Out of curiosity, what program is this that requires 1600x1200? That seems pretty unreasonable.
