macOS 12.x (Monterey) 'Low Resolution' Solution


Recommended Posts

I'm adding this mostly for myself, so I can remember where to look if I need to do this again.  The latest version of MacOS has removed the 'checkbox' that allows you to run MacOS apps in lower resolution mode.  This means if you run KSP on a Mac with a Retina style screen it can't be upscaled by the OS and will appear very small.

The solution is to right click on the KSP.app and select 'Show Package Contents'.  This will show the hidden parts of the KSP.app.  Open 'Contents' and then open the Info.plist file with a text editor (TextEdit will work).  Scroll to the bottom of the document and just before the final two lines insert   <key>NSHighResolutionCapable</key><false/>

It should look something like this:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<!DOCTYPE plist PUBLIC "-//Apple//DTD PLIST 1.0//EN" "http://www.apple.com/DTDs/PropertyList-1.0.dtd">
<plist version="1.0">
  <dict>
    ...
	[A bunch of stuff up here]
    ...
	<key>NSHighResolutionCapable</key><false/>
  </dict>
</plist>
