Description: A simple plasmoid to change you screen resolution. It queries 'xrandr' for the available modes and lists them for you to quickly click and change. No need to go all the way through System Settings to change your resolution. It is configurable to only show you the aspect ratios you want (i.e. 16:10, 16:9, etc.) and filter out the rest. Intended for use in a horizontal (top or bottom).
Only screen resolution change widget there is. Works well and does the job in the system tray.
A focus on selecting individual resolutions would have been better. I have edited the shell script to only show 4k and HD, since those were the only resolutions I cared about.
Great nonetheless.
Sorry about that. This was the first plasmoid I ever worked on, and technically... it's not great. I always had it in a top panel and never did the work needed to make it work right as a floating desktop plasmoid. Maybe someday I'll write ScreenRez 2 and get it to work right.

I like it, but i would like to have it into the system tray.
