Hi Guys,

For my company we use vnc to do our work on remote machines. I have been working on 1600x1200 and 1400x1050 resolution for a long time. I recently switched to the 12 inch powerbook and trying to write code on 1024x768 is not an easy task. With windows I use ultra vnc which allows me to scale the vnc by a certain %, which allows me to see more of the vnc window to maximize the resoultion. I am trying to find something on the mac which will allow me to do this. The closest thing I found was VNCThing, but this is either scale it to fit to screen or not, and when using 1600x1200 in the vnc and you scale it to fit 1024x768 you can't see anything. I would like to be able to say to scale 58% of 1600x1200.

Any help would be awesome, I hope this makes sense...

Thanks

TightVNC maybe. http://www.versiontracker.com Look there for VNC and see what it gives you.

I'll second Chicken of the VNC

[Edit] Hmm, I thought it could do scaling, but now I don't see it in the options.
