Please yes Mirko!!!! When I play a very old game that is 640 x 480 and then close the game i need to manually change it again either via command or system settings meanwhile I am blinded by the terrible resolution and colors. I know there is "virtual window" option but that doesn't let me go full screen with the games and just duplicates the picture and smear sit.

A corner case to consider when implementing is when there are multiple monitors to make sure both resolutions go back to what they are set to originally. Sometimes KDE Plasma gets weird when messing with resolutions on one monitor and "placement" of the second one.

I think this feature should be done by default and not be "optional"
