I did a little research into Unity 3D, and I saw a few posts on the subject of dynamic resolution change.

I am in the Diablo 3 beta, and it resizes dynamically. It is a feature I really enjoy.

It's a small "like to have" that is either trivial for you to implement or near-impossible and just left till "post 2.0"

Pretty much any request you might have relating to anything to do with the windowing behavior of the game has one response: unity doesn't support it. I complained about this to them just yesterday, if it's any consolation, in a survey they sent.

If you're referring to something like this: http://answers.unity3d.com/questions/17676/guiwindow-resize-window.html

That's referring to GUI windows inside unity, which are just a visual display concept. It's not referring to the overall game OS window itself.

Well, I'll just reemphasize the "little" on the amount of research I did then. But, man, the tool does so very many things right though....

Oh yeah, I love the unity engine for so many things, but I really reamed them out yesterday for four things:

1. Removing PowerPC support.

2. Poor windowing controls, which should be simple but which they don't add.

3. Pursuing new platforms and features over fixing existing bugs.

4. Inadequate ability for professional game developers using their product to talk with them and influence their product. I have as much luck with them as you would have going to Bioware and asking for... anything.
