An alternative for developing high area stacks would be a half resolution mode. The stack rect and other sizes would be in real pixels but the other pixels would be in virtual pixels, two for each real pixel.
I'm doing something like that scripted. I'm developing at half size and the thing doubles in size when put into a full screen. It learns the half size properties so I can do a crude test on the wrong monitor and then go back. I'm now thinking that using Parallels at full screen to allow oversized resolution might also be a solution, but Parallels has rendering problems in that case. That might also be nice for the final monitor testing, but Parallels is limited to only a few size settings from within Windows, though it can do a lot by resizing in window mode. And the Parallels Display Adapter does not rotate. I'm also thinking of scrollbars that hang outside the window. And I'm still thinking about Mark Schonewille's idea.
