![]() I’d recommend practicing the command at the command line before just shoving it into Stream Deck. Even though I felt like such a dope for getting stuck on the complicated path, I was happy for the MUCH EASIER way! So if you haven’t ever configured a Stream Deck button, let’s finish this up with Glenn’s easy street way. ![]() I went back to 12noon’s website and realized that the “ Display Changer” is different than “ Display Changer II” and is a simpler tool to work with. I do like Glenn, but no, I’m not obsessed with him)! So I always trust him, but I looked at that and thought “DC2 doesn’t have these switches and what is DC64?”. Now this is my pal from whom I learned YET A BETTER WAY to load utensils into a dishwasher that I am now obsessed with (the dishwasher trick, that is. To set my main screen to the resolution I want. Then back to my brainy pal who said…well, y’know….: And then blogged the very complicated path. It was madness but I was determined and got it all working. But Stream Deck can’t run PowerShell files, so then I had to create a batch file to run the PS1 file. I learned how to create xml configuration files for various display settings, then create a PowerShell script to execute DC2 against those config files. So not knowing there was a simpler version, I got stuck on a path that was way more complicated than I needed. However, there are TWO versions of Display Changer and DC2 is the programmable one. After asking around on Twitter, I learned about Display Changer 2, used by two very trusted nerds (and friends): There are some apps and there are a few CLI tools. Step 1: Find a command line tool for affecting screen resolution. Like many of us who are now creating content at home (although I am not streaming on twitch like many of my friends) I recently added an Elgato Stream Deck controller to my toolkit, along with some key lights, too! I use the stream deck to control the lights while recording video that requires that I be in it. But I now have a super easy way to change that monitor’s resolution back and forth. There is no easy way to change the resolution other than going into system settings. But I’m constantly doing other things on that monitor such as email or writing and that resolution is discomforting. ![]() Therefore, when recording a course, which may take me many many weeks, I tend to leave one of my monitors at 1280×720. However, when recording software training courses for Pluralsight, we are asked to use a resolution of 1280×720 so that text and code are legible across a variety of devices and sizes. ![]() ![]() Monitors can support resolutions that are lower than their native resolutions, but text won't look as sharp and the display might be small, centered on the screen, edged with black, or stretched.I have a lovely pair wide screen monitors with 1080p resolution. It's usually best to stick with the one that's marked (Recommended). Typically, it's best to choose the one that's marked (Recommended).įind Display resolution, and then choose an option. Next, in Change the size of text, apps, and other items, select an option. When that's done, follow the instructions below. Select Start > Settings > System > Display, and look at the Rearrange your displays section. Before you get started, if you have external displays connected to your PC, choose the display you want to change. ![]()
