Windowed mode sets your app to a standard, non-full-screen, movable window, the size of which is dependent on the app resolution. In Windowed mode, the window is resizable by default. To disable this, disable the Player Settings Resizable Window setting.
With just a few clicks in System Preferences, you can go through all the resolutions supported on your Mac. If you're using a Retina display, you can switch from 'Default for display' to 'scaled' and either make things big or make use of all the pixels at your disposal. That can help with legibility or just help you cram even more windows onto your Mac.
The procedure is different depending on what sort of screen you have connected to your Mac: built-in or external.
