![]() Guest Additions for Oracle Solaris 4.2.4. Installing and Maintaining Guest Additions 4.2.1. Create a batch file resolution_switcher.Table of Contents 4.1. First, you need a batch file that changes the directory to the folder the Python script is in, then the virtual environment has to be activated, and then the Python application can be launched using pythonw such that no GUI shows up. You don’t have to manually launch this Python application every time you boot your computer so let us add it to the Windows startup. Adding a Python Script to the Windows Startup When you run this Python script, an icon will appear in the system tray, and you can choose the resolution of your display. Copy this code into a file called resolution_switcher.py. The Python code for changing the Windows display resolution can now be found in the function on_set_resolution(width, height) and is called via a lambda function from the menu items in lines 30 and 31. Icon ( "Resolution Switcher", image, "Resolution Switcher", menu ) icon. stop () if _name_ = "_main_" : # adapted from Sebastin Ignacio Camilla Trinc: ChangeDisplaySettings ( devmode, 0 ) def on_quit (): icon. Import pystray import pywintypes import win32api import win32con from PIL import Image from pystray import MenuItem as item def on_set_resolution ( width : int, height : int ): # adapted from Peter Wood: ĭevmode = pywintypes. With those two code snippets, you can create a Python application that helps you change the display resolution from the Windows system tray: Changing the Windows Display Resolution from the System Tray / Taskbar When the Quit menu item is clicked, the on_quit() function is called and ends the Python application. And in the last two lines, the system tray is created and started using n(). Next, in lines 12 to 16 a menu for the system tray icon is created using item objects with call-back to the function executed when the menu item was clicked on. run ()įirst, the Python code needs an image file (256x256 px) as an icon for the system tray in line 10. Icon ( "name", image, "title", menu ) icon. open ( "icon.png" ) menu = ( item ( 'MenuItem0', None ), item ( 'MenuItem1', None ), item ( 'Quit', on_quit ) ) icon = pystray. Import pystray from PIL import Image from pystray import MenuItem as item def on_quit (): icon. Installing it can also be done using pip: ![]() Adding a Python application to the system tray is pretty straightforward using the package pystray that provides an operating agnostic API to add a Python application to the system tray. Therefore we want to add this Python application to the Windows system tray to be easily accessed via a right-click. Manually running the code above is only slightly better or even worse than using the Windows display settings to change the resolution. Adding a Python Application to the Windows 10/11 System Tray ![]() Make sure to pick a resolution your monitor supports before running the script otherwise, nothing happens. In lines 6 and 7 the new display resolution is set using devmode.PelsWidth and devmode.PelsHeight for the width and height in pixels. Import pywintypes import win32api import win32con devmode = pywintypes.
