Description Kalin Agrawal 2009-04-22 00:40:14 UTC
Binary package hint: gnome-control-center

Feature Request:

The Gnome panel applet that is turned on by the "Monitor Resolution Settings" dialog should allow the user to switch screen resolutions directly from its drop-down menu.

Presently, it allows for choosing monitor Rotation and flipping for internal and external monitors. I would argue that these choices are of a lower priority than changing which screens are actually set to be on and at what resolution(s).

I use a laptop with support for external VGA. I often plug prefer to plug my laptop into external monitors.

Comment 1 Matthias Clasen 2009-07-07 17:22:18 UTC
The status icon (not applet) is part of gnome-settings-daemon.
Comment 2 Bastien Nocera 2010-10-13 18:03:49 UTC
The status icon for resolutions was removed from gnome-settings-daemon for gnome 3. See bug 631995 if you're interested in the feature itself.
