==========================
ARandR: Another XRandR GUI
==========================
Design intent
-------------
Provide a simple visual front end for XRandR_ 1.2, client side X only (no xorg.conf involved, no pre-1.2 options).
Features
--------
* Full controll over positioning (instead of plain "left of") with edge snapping
* Saving configurations as executable shell scripts (configurations can be loaded without using this program)
* Configuration files can be edited to include additional payload (like xsetwacom_ commands tablet PC users need when rotating), which is preserved when editing
* Metacity keybinding integration:
* Saved configurations can be bound to arbitrary keys via metacity's custom commands.
* Several layouts can be bound to one key; they are cycled through. (Useful for "rotate" buttons on tablet PCs.)
* Main widget separated from packaged application (to facilitate integration with existing solutions)
Status
------
Works with recent X servers supporting XRandR 1.2 or 1.3 (which is 1.2 compatible).
See TODO_ for planned features.
Installation
------------
* Using your distribution's instaler:
* Debian_ / Ubuntu_::
aptitude install arandr
* archlinux using a PKGBUILD_ on AUR::
yaourt -S arandr
* Slackware using a `slackbuild by PhantomX`_::
wget http://cloud.github.com/downloads/PhantomX/slackbuilds/arandr.tar.bz2
tar xjf arandr.tar.bz2
cd arandr
./arandr.SlackBuild 2>&1 | tee build.log
* From source:
* Fetch either
* the `latest release`_::
wget http://christian.amsuess.com/tools/arandr/files/arandr-0.1.3.tar.gz
tar xzf arandr-0.1.3.tar.gz
cd arandr-0.1.3
* or get it directly from GIT (`hosted on gitorious`_)::
git clone git://gitorious.org/arandr/arandr.git
cd arandr
* and start it using::
./arandr
* or install it::
sudo ./setup.py install
Dependencies
------------
* python_
* PyGTK_
* xrandr_
* docutils_ (>=0.6; for building the man page)
Bugs / Caveats
--------------
* Changes while running are not caught.
* Depends on all modes to have a <width>x<height> name.
Contributing
------------
If you are fluent with languages not yet supported, you can add translations to ARandR using gettext_. An easy way to do this is `ARandR's transifex site`_.
Please send bug reports, suggestions, patches and git pull requests to me_.
