How can I change the screen resolution? Do I have to pop into Carbon and do it? If so, how? Do I #import <Carbon/Carbon.h> and then just use all the Carbon stuff as I would in C? Isn't there an example "Carbon in Cocoa" on Apple's website?

You'll have to go to Carbon for that. What I would do, is use DrawSprocket. It's easy to use and you can do fades, which are a nice way to switch screen resolutions.

DrawSprocket can be used if you're programming a game. However if you don't then you should probably avoid switching resolution since it can easily move user's icons, flicker screen and make your users angry.

If you really have to do it, Display Manager (DM*) APIs is the way to go.
