Apple 15AV manual Working with the Control Strip

You can change the following settings with the Control Strip modules:

mMonitor Resolution lets you change the resolution of the screen.

mMonitor BitDepth lets you change the number of colors on your screen.

mSound Volume lets you change the volume of the system sound.

To use a module, press it and choose a setting from the pop-up menu that appears.

Note: If you use more than one monitor, the monitors are identified by number in the Control Strip menus. To see which number goes with which monitor, experiment with the modules, or open the Monitors control panel (in the Control Panels folder, available from the Apple [K] menu) and press the Identify button. The number of each monitor appears on its screen. (On some models, the control panel has a different name.)
