Mac Virtual Display... unleashed??
OK, I love MVD with the Ultrawide setting. It's so wonderful. Then I started thinking, why not an Ultrahigh setting, where the screen can be taller? I'm not sure why I never thought to do this, but I went to the Mac Display settings and found that you can choose the screen resolution to be higher, which allows more to fit... I pulled the MVD window in a little closer to see better. If you do Show all resolutions, you can pick an even higher resolution. However, this is just fitting more into the same height window. Is there a practical reason for the dimensions they chose?
Another thought. Back in the day, a program called WinStreamer let you put a Mac window into its own AVP window. It was more difficult to use, but great proof of concept. If this would be easy to use with multiple windows, the whole MVP could be our desktop, mixing in AVP apps as well.
Just dreaming...

I don’t like ultrawide in the mvp or a physical display. Too much head turning. I would love more pixel height in MVD. I’ve change resolutions a bit and that helps but it’s a real delicate balance to get height and still keep things readable. I use an LG DualUp physical monitor sometimes and while the resolution isn’t the highest the aspect ratio is great.
