I don't know where I'd be without macOS' Hot Corners (probably using a third-party app to do the same thing). To help manage your display full of windows, check out the one Mac app I can't go without. That's the last thing I need when I'm editing photos and video on my MacBook Pro. It tries to find the true white balance for you, and I often find it becoming more yellowed than I like. I also turn off True Tone, another of Apple's tools that changes your display due to ambient lighting. I'm the type who wants full control over my screen, so I disable 'Automatically adjust brightness,' because I don't need macOS fiddling with my brightness level based on my ambient lighting (I do love the similar feature in the Kindle Paperwhite Signature Edition and the Kindle Oasis, but that's a whole different story). Then, there are two other settings that I always turn off.

Currently, I'm sticking with Default, but I keep considering More Space. You can now adjust from having larger text or more space on your screen. Open System Preferences (Click the Apple icon in the top left corner of your screen, and then select System Preferences) and click Displays. So, this may be something that takes some trial and error, but macOS' default screen scaling (aka resolution) isn't for all.
