Hi, I was just using VMWare Fusion 3, when I set the resolution of my Windows 7 VM to a higher resolution than my native. To my surprise, unlike Parallels Desktop, I didn't have to scroll up and down in fullscreen. It just made it look as if my computer supported that resolution (everything looked smaller). I would love to be able to do that in OS X. I know I'd still have 1440x900, but making it look like 1680x1050 or 1920x1200 looks nice. I know VMWare can do it, so why can't OS X? I tried SwitchResX, but it just cut of parts of my screen. Any other ideas?

Thanks.
