Releases: waydabber/BetterDisplay
v1.0.10
Changes
- Added option to enable up to 16K resolutions under
Settings(this might benefit 5K double-wide and ultrawide users to allow for higher resolution HiDPI). - Added options to connect/disconnect/discard/disassociate all dummies at once.
- Added option to associate a dummy with a real display - association result in the dummy auto connecting/disconnecting whenever the associated display is present or removed from the configuration.
- Added in-menu resolution selector for connected dummies.
- Added option to enable low-resolution options in menu resolution selector.
- Added option to hide the menubar icon.
- Enabled full sandboxing.

If you have any issues with this release, please let me know!
* Virtual Displays mirrored to an other displays tend to break sleep on some setups (the screen just freezes). The problem is unrelated to BetterDummy and seems to be a bug in macOS - on affected setups it can be replicated without BD, simply by attempting to mirror a Sidecar display (or an other virtual screen of similar kind) and initiate sleep. A Bug Report has been submitted to Apple regarding this but the timetable of a proper fix is highly uncertain. The app implements a workaround for the issue, but since on some configs the workaround itself caused issues, an option was now added to disable it.
v1.0.7
Changes
- Improved handling of resolutions
- Updated Manage Dummies menu
- Start at Login option
- Auto-update functionality
- Unlocked resolutions up to 8K+ (8192px) *
- Updated tailor-made app and menubar icons in place of the old generic icons *
The app is still a work in progress. If you have any issues with this release, please let me know!
* Note: the attached release binary was updated to v1.0.7e with the marked additional features but otherwise the app has no new features compared to the old v1.0.7, therefore this slightly updated version is not offered via the in-app update mechanism.
v1.0.6
Changes
- Added more resolutions.
- Option to connect/disconnect dummy without destroying it. It is preferred to disconnect a dummy instead of discarding it if you want to reuse a dummy later (this preserves previous display configuration and avoids creating unnecessary ColorSync profiles and display configuration entries stored by the OS).
- Option to cycle connected dummies upon wake.
- Release is properly notarized.
Known issues
Start at loginoption is not working yet.
v1.0.5
v1.0.2
Minor updates:
- Fixed restoring settings of multiple dummy displays.
- Each dummy now has an unique persistent serial number. This means that multiple dummies of the same aspect ratio can be created (for multi-display setup) and upon app restart the previous display configuration is recognized and restored by macOS.
- Internal refactoring to allow room for planned future improvements.
Note:
- The format of the preferences store has changed so the app will forget all its settings when upgrading from v1.0.1.
v1.0.1
v1.0.0
Initial release:
- Should be fully functional.
- All aspect ratios added.
- Ability to save display configuration and restore upon startup.
- Mirrored dummy screen sleep glitch is fixed by utilizing an other glitch - this might work well on all configs. Proceed with caution!
- Tested only on M1 and Monterey.
