A lot of rumors have been doing the rounds regarding the upcoming upgrade "Leopard" better known as OS X 10.5. From full screen window virtualization to more secure computing... take your pick.

While going through various posts and comments on this pending issue, I came across a very interesting post on which the author has speculated on if OS X will finally get "resolution scaling". For all you guys who just went HUH?!?, resolution scaling is used to refer to dynamic resizing of webpage contents in normal parlance. However, here it takes on a different connotation. There are quite a bunch of Mac variants out there with different screen sizes ranging from standard to widescreen to just plain huge. Creating applications for this causes problems for developers as an app made for a certain size screen will simply not scale up or down on a larger or smaller display. It will shrink to a rather miniscule or larger than screen size and just plain look stupid. If resolution scaling is to be implemented developers would have a standard codebase to work with and their apps would scale automatically according to screen size.

Apple had indicated it would do implement this as long back as the launch of OS X. Looks like they are finally moving on it in Leopard
