I have an obscure question but hopefully someone else knows this...
I want a larger screen size when screen sharing my headless mac mini to my 27" iMac (running Lion and Mtn Lion respectively). I had given up on making it bigger until...

I connected the mac mini via Thunderbolt to 27" iMac to use iMac as a monitor, and I noticed that when I just "screen shared" (rather than using 27" as a monitor), the shared screen size was MUCH bigger (i.e. more pixels and bigger screen share window).

SO, is there a way to get Screen Sharing to do that bigger window/desktop now that I've seen that it is able to do it? (i.e. without having to actually wire the two together with the Thunderbolt cable).
