Macbook: Reduce Usable Screen Area

Macbook: Reduce Usable Screen Area

I broke my screen on 15 inch Macbook Retina and temporarily need to reduce the usable area of screen not to use 2 inches in the bottom and 1 inch on the left side. Wonder if this is possible :)

( This is not a duplicate of the other question as I have OS X obviously, not Windows. Thanks )

In OS X you can change the underscan/overscan in the preferences. It wont be perfect as the setting can only change the size of the display not the position but it may help in the usability of the computer.

You may also be able to use an external program such as DisplayConfigX if it is supported by your operating system.

Hope this helps until you can get a more permanent solution.
