## Introduction | ||
ReScreen is an **open-source** tool that tries to simplify the per-display fractional scaling problem many users have on | ||
Linux inside an X11-Session. You can use the **graphical display configurator** to configure your display setup to your | ||
liking. When you are satisfied with the setup, the configuration is saved and applied to your system. Everytime the | ||
connected display configuration changes, ReScreen automatically tries to find a matching profile and if it found one, it | ||
gets applied. You can also manually force this behaviour using the **command line interface**. | ||
|
||
## Installation | ||
### Debian/Ubuntu | ||
1. Download the `.deb`-File from the [Release Page](https://github.com/lagmoellertim/rescreen/releases). | ||
|
||
2. To install it on your system, use | ||
```shell | ||
$ sudo apt-get install -f <path to the .deb-File> | ||
``` | ||
|
||
A package repository for deb packages is in the making :construction: | ||
|
||
### Arch | ||
1. Download the `.pkg.tar.zst`-File from the [Release Page](https://github.com/lagmoellertim/rescreen/releases). | ||
2. To install it on your System, use | ||
```shell | ||
$ sudo pacman -U <path to the .pkg.tar.zst-File> | ||
``` | ||
|
||
An easier method for installing this package on Arch is by using the AUR :arrow_down: | ||
|
||
### AUR | ||
1. With an AUR-Helper of your choice (I will use `yay` in this example), install the package using | ||
```shell | ||
$ yay -S rescreen | ||
``` | ||
|
||
### PIP | ||
1. > This will not embed rescreen into your system, only the command line tool gets installed. The GUI is not available | ||
> as a shortcut in the menu and the screen change watcher does not automatically run in the background. | ||
> | ||
> You also need to install the required system dependencies on your own, including `xrandr`, `xev`, `loginctl`, | ||
> `whoami` and `edid-decode` | ||
|
||
To install only the command line tools on your system, you can use | ||
```shell | ||
$ pip install rescreen | ||
``` | ||
|
||
## Command Line Usage | ||
### Detect and save the current display configuration | ||
```shell | ||
$ rescreen save | ||
``` | ||
|
||
### Detect the current display configuration, try to find a matching profile and apply it if found | ||
```shell | ||
$ rescreen load | ||
``` | ||
|
||
### Start the Graphical Display Configurator | ||
```shell | ||
$ rescreen gui | ||
``` | ||
|
||
### Start the display change watcher that automatically tries to apply the matching profile | ||
>Note: This command needs to be run with superuser-permissions. The preferred way of using the watcher is to have it | ||
> installed as a systemd-service | ||
> | ||
> (This is done in the bundled packages for the distributions) | ||
```shell | ||
$ rescreen watcher | ||
``` | ||
