On windows most of the VNC clients allow you to scale down your view of the remote VNC screen. I can't find any mac clients that do this? Do any exist? I often like to open a VNC session and scale it down (i can even interact with it small), as it makes it fast. It's nice for monitoring....

This is what I want when I VNC to my mac? Any suggestions? My VNC server is OSXVNC

We've gotten a lot of requests for this at Chicken of the VNC and we plan to implement it in the future. Chicken's internal rendering code needs an update, at which point, we'll get it "for free".

That would be excellent, I really, really look forward to this. If you need beta testers, or hosting for your site I'll gladly provide it at free. Your VNC client is my favorite.

I'm a user interface developer, if you'd like I could create some .nib files for you for your next chicken of the VNC update, as well as write documentation for free. I have some ideas for making it simplier and sexy.

Thanks for the offers, inkhead! We don't need hosting, since SourceForge provides it. Interface suggestions are always welcome, as is improved documentation. We're about ready to rock a 2.0b3 release, though, so I suggest you wait until then (or download and build from CVS now). Things have changed a bit since 2.0b2.

One thing we could really use is a "real" webpage. Right now, cotvnc.sf.net redirects to the sourceforge project page, which is, uhhh, spartan.

Translations are always welcome, too!
