Change resolution in menu bar

[Mightee]

Anyone know a way of getting back the old functionality of being able to change the screen resolution via the menu bar?

i am interested in this as well. Can't select my custom resolutions that I made with SwitchResX.

The Displays menu extra is completely different.

Just click on the the "Scaled" radio button.

It's really the refresh rate that I want to change on-the-fly.

This thing is gone. I rely on it to toggle mirroring before, but it seems cmd+F1 can do the trick too.

OMG. I didn't know about cmd-f1 until I searched for this. SwitchresX put my displays in mirror mode before it started crashing hopelessly, and since there's apparently no gui for entering or leaving the mode in ML, I was completely stuck. Thanks!

I really hope Apple improves the Display prefpane. Want more control!

EDIT: any tricks for putting an external display into HiDPI mode? That was there in Lion but gone in Lion.

Derp: "mirror displays" is right where it's supposed to be. Dunno how I missed it before.

In Snow Leopard I enjoyed having the screen resolution options available to me in the menu bar on my iMac. That option seems to have vanished when I upgraded to Mountain Lion.

I tried the Cmd+F1 keyboard shortcut that someone suggested, but nothing happened. Then I tried Option+F1 and that worked nicely to bring up the display settings window in the system preferences.

It requires a bit of scrolling to find the right resolution, but I'm fine with that.
