Resolution - Change screen resolution dynamically

Published by Thomas Leonard

Overview

This is a Zero Install feed. To add this program to your Applications menu, choose Zero Install -> Add New Program from the Applications menu. e.g. on Ubuntu:

Adding with GNOME

If you don't see this menu item, install the zeroinstall-injector package from your distribution's repository, or from 0install.net.

Drag the feed's URL to the dialog box that appears. Other environments may use other systems. For example, if you are a ROX desktop user, drag the link to AddApp instead.

Alternatively, to run it from the command-line:

$ 0launch http://rox.sourceforge.net/2005/interfaces/Resolution

The 0alias command can be used to create a short-cut to run it again later.

If you don't have the 0launch command, download it from the 0install.net web-site, which also contains documentation about how the Zero Install system works.

Description

This program allows you to change the screen resolution at any time. The change is not permanent. This is useful when connecting a laptop to an external monitor or a projector, for example, which may require a different screen resolution. Resolution is simply a graphical front-end to the xrandr (X Rotate And Resize) command-line utility, which you will also need. Modern X servers (such as XFree86 and X.org) come with this program. If you don't have it, try upgrading your X server. Note that there is another, older, mechanism for changing resolution, often activated by pressing <Ctrl>+<Alt>+<Keypad Plus>. This still changes the resolution, but your desktop remains the same logical size (i.e. you 'zoom in' to the screen and must pan around to see your panel, etc).
