ChangeResolution

ChangeResolution is a console application that allows you to change the screen resolution before launching a specified program or while waiting for it to start. This is particularly useful for applications that require specific display settings, such as games or multimedia applications.

Features

• Change the screen resolution using command-line arguments.
• Optionally launch a specified program after changing the resolution.
• Wait for a specified program to start and change the resolution before it loads.
• Revert the screen resolution to its original settings after the program exits.
• Provides a user-friendly waiting message with an option to exit the waiting mode.

Prerequisites

• Windows Operating System
• .NET Framework or .NET Core

Usage

The application can be executed with the following command-line arguments:

ChangeResolution.exe -x -y [-p ] [-w]

Arguments

• -x <width>: Specifies the desired width of the screen resolution.
• -y <height>: Specifies the desired height of the screen resolution.
• -p <program path>: (Optional) Specifies the path to the program to launch or wait for.
• -w: (Optional) Indicates that the program should wait for the specified program to start. This cannot be used without specifying a program path with -p.

Example

To change the resolution to 1920x1080 and wait for a program to start, use the following command:

ChangeResolution.exe -x 1920 -y 1080 -p "C:\Path\To\program.exe" -w

If you want to change the resolution and immediately launch the program, you can use:

ChangeResolution.exe -x 1920 -y 1080 -p "C:\Path\To\program.exe"

Notes

• If the -w switch is specified, the application will continuously check for the specified program to start and change the resolution before it loads. You can exit the waiting mode by pressing Ctrl+C.
• If you provide a program path without the -w switch, the application will change the resolution and launch the program immediately.
• If the specified program is already running when using the -w switch, the application will wait until it exits before changing the resolution back to the original settings.
