# README for arandr-trayicon
A system tray icon for easily changing monitor settings.
## Upstream
This project's upstream is at <https://bgstack15.ddns.net/cgit/arandr-trayicon/>
## Alternatives
Xfce4-settings includes a program, **xfce4-display-settings**, which is really nice but needs more components of xfce4 than I was willing to research and install. A full Xfce4 suite will handle it.
## Reason for existence
I wanted a lightweight tray icon that lets a user easily change which displays are active. Arandr would obviously be very useful but some users don't even want to use that.
## Using
Run `arandr-trayicon` in your graphical session, probably at startup. For fluxbox, that would be in `~/.fluxbox/startup`.
## Configuring
The application examines all the arandr-generated `~/.screenlayout/*.sh` scripts and also admin-set ones at `/etc/screenlayouts/*.sh`. The filenames are displayed as menu entries on the system tray. A good plan is for an admin to install the package/script, and then define for the system some basic scripts in `/etc/screenlayouts/`, including:
laptop-only.sh
extend-desktop.sh
hdmi-only.sh
mirror-displays.sh
## Dependencies
* xrandr
* arandr for setup of initial display-settings scripts
## Building
If applicable, or more complicated than `make && make install`.
## Improvements
* Still need packaging recipes
