I am running into a problem setting my resolution on my eve client in windowed mode. I am provided 3 options.
1024x1036, 1920x1080, and 1920x1036.

Why so few options? Is there a way to custom enter a resolution anywhere in the config?

Computer Stats: OS 10.10.2 using an AMD FirePro D500 3072MB, and the display is using the HDMI port.

Please let me know if you have any ideas on what I might can do to change this up a bit... I don't like the resolution choices for windowed mode, and as a multi-account user, full screen really isn't an option.

Hi Brunik, can you try dragging the corner of your windowed-mode client to change it to a custom resolution?

That is the Ideal Mechanism for resolution customization. But apparently you have to be Explicit with members of his alliance.

None of the corners will grab, and neither will any of the sides. I have tried all 4 corners, as well as all 4 sides.

No one has any other ideas of things I can try? Seriously frustrating dealing with such limited options.

I ran into that in my searches however can you recommend any other screen resolution programs. The one linked on the eve uni site is $15, i'd prefer not to spend money if I really don't have too.

I was able to find a fix for this issue. It was suggested by someone in the Mac OS X tech channel.

Change the screen you're using to be your main screen (system preferences > Display > arrangement > drag menu bar at the top of the active main screen to the new one that you're trying to display eve on).

It should recognize this on Mac OS X and automatically give you a corrected resolution with 44 pixels in length subtract to account for the menu at the top.

I have the same issue, and I use this control panel app.

Lets you define custom resolutions, that the game will pick up.
