Support for changing the menu bar location and display Ids?
Hi!
Great utility, and found it in a very timely manner... Before getting to it, I had found cscreen
(https://www.pyehouse.com/cscreen/) which unfortunately doesn't work on my setup (High Sierra, Retina displays)... But this tool has a very handy feature which is changing the menu bar location.
So the -p
option allows moving the "reference" menu bar location to a different display (making it the "default" one), and the -i
option allows referencing displays using an permanent ID, regardless of what the "connection" order is:
So, being able to "move around" the menu bar would be incredibly handy - just a suggestion
The help screen from the tool:
Usage: cscreen [-d <depth>] [-x <width>] [-y <height>] [-r <refresh>] [-s <display>] [-v] [-m] [-f] [-l] [-h]
[-d <depth>] : specifies the bit depth (bits per pixel)
[-x <width>] : specifies the width in pixels
[-y <height>] : specifies the height in pixels
[-r <refresh>] : specifies the refresh rate in Hz
[-s <display>] : specifies which display to use (defaults to main display)
use a as the option to -s to specify the action on all displays
[-i <displayID>]: picks a display based on CGDirectDisplayID (permanent per display)
continue to use '-s a' for "all displays"
[-v] : display valid modes (use -s to specify display or nothing for the default)
[-m] : require an exact match
[-f] : forces settings (ignores safety mechanisms; USE AT YOUR OWN RISK)
[-l] : lists the current displays and modes
[-p] : sets the requested display to have the menu bar
[-h] : displays the usage
Note: Using -p will change the display index so you will likely want to use -l again to show the current
displays if you wish to use -p a second time.
Could you consider adding support for this?
