#Quick resolution switcher windows 10 how to#

So - now I'm trying to figure out if I could use DisplayFusion to set a custom monitor display size to trigger just when I open or focus on that one program, then put it back to normal when I close the program or focus elsewhere. And changing the resolution in display settings every time I want to use that program is too cumbersome - I'd need it for 5 minutes every few hours - it's a pain. I can't just set one monitor's resolution to work with the old program, because I need to access a lot of other programs on that same monitor, and they all get too unwieldy.

But I can't figure out how to do that & it doesn't seem built to do that. I was hoping I could do screen splitting with DisplayFusion, then set the resolution in ONE of the split screens to be different than in all other split-screens, so that I could just put that program in it's own screen, set to a size I can read. Too small to be worth trying to work with. In Windows this can be worked around by pressing Windows Key + m prior to switching and Windows Key + Shift + m when you have returned to that Computer.

The DisplayPort EDID Emulator maintains the DDC communication to the connected computer, which prevents the computer from reverting to a more basic display configuration. The program works by saving a current monitor setup as configured using the windows control panel to an xml file. Users are facing the issue when they try to change the resolution to a higher one. You can write batch files to change your resolution (a simple one liner) and save them on your desktop as shortcuts (that way you can switch the icon). But it's old, and was designed for a smaller screen and on my monitors the text is super-tiny. Along the monitor state and setup the resolution is also saved and restored. There's one program I would use several times/day IF I could only read the text in it.
