Screen Pattern setup for screens on Unix Systems
Based on patterns that you can write on ~/.fixscr you can define how your screen will
be setup with only one short command: fixscr.
When you use multiple monitors, you know that no operating system guess and setup your screen correctly. Or sometimes you want only to use one screen on a defined setup.
That is when i build this small program, is a Python software that you can define some
patterns to your screen setup, just like a simplified xorg.conf and then you can easly change
between them
You can just write a simple config file at ~/.fixscr and all the patterns save there will
be available in fixscr.
The config file is really simple and reminds a simple xorg.conf file.
You can see the example fixscr.example inside this repository or see the wiki where
every option is explained.
Then you just type fixscr pattern or fixscr in any terminal emulator or execute dialog (ALT+F2) to load a screen setup.
You can define, in only one pattern, the setup of any or all of your screens/monitor. The setup include resolution, refresh rate, brightness, if the screen is on or off and many more.
And you can define as many patterns as you want.
I have a default pattern where my laptop screen and my main monitor is on, and other that if the main monitor is plugged in it shuts down the laptop screen for playing games, called games. And i can simply call fixscr games to switch.
