Feature request: Screen resolution action #402

Open chucksense opened 9 years ago

maxd commented 9 years ago

Could you please explain why and how do you want to change screen resolution?

chucksense commented 9 years ago

Sure!

I have a Mac Mini I use as an HTPC connected to my TV. I manage this HTPC via Screen Sharing, but unfortunately the TV Resolution (1080i) is super slow via Screen Sharing. So I'd like to set up a rule that causes the Screen Resolution to drop to 720p only while I'm connected via Screen Sharing (see issue #401 for the other half of this).

I second this. At work I need larger resolution for better multi-tasking, while I can set it to the default one when I get home.

You can use AppleScripts to change the display resolution (I do this all the time). I'm not sure there's a universal way to do this, though. The following gists should show you enough to get started. https://gist.github.com/lgw4/9679514 https://gist.github.com/lgw4/9679492 https://gist.github.com/lgw4/9679472 https://gist.github.com/lgw4/2319fb34195b6e3d72c9
