I have a Macbook Pro which I use with a 30" Dell LCD.

Is there anyway to get OSX to remember what your GUI settings are for an external display.

While using the Dell with the higher 30" resolution I would like a larger dock placed at the bottom of the screen with font and icon size set at 13 or 14.

When using the MBP without the external display I would like a smaller dock to be on the left side of the display with smaller font and icon size.

Is there anyway to accomplish this automatically or fairly simply? At the moment I have to manually adjust everything depending on weather I'm using the built in screen or the external display.
