ARandR: Another XRandR GUI

arandr's Issues

Support for `--same-as` option for mirroring outputs

Example: xrandr --output DP-3 --same-as eDP-1

As far as I can tell, there is no way to set up screen mirroring in Arandr.

Key/cornerstoning

I am connecting my computer to an external monitior/projector and I want to distort the output to achieve key/corner stoning. An example is below:

Original:

Desired output:

I'm aware that lots of projectors have this ability built in but for those that don't I want to be able to do this on the output itself, not the device. I know this is possible via the --transform option in xrandr. I'm looking for a program-independent solution as for my purposes I can't really do this in software itself.

Can this be exposed via the GUI in arandr?

Ability to scale each screen.

Can we add an option to scale each screen by 25% 50% 100% 200% 300% 400% ?

add ability to control output refresh rates

Other programs like lxrandr and zarfy allow you to control the refresh rate for each output as well as the resolution. But apart from this arandr is best :) so it would be nice if it had this ability too.

Since different refresh rates may be available depending on the resolution, and arandr controls resolution in a menu, the refresh rate and the resolution would need to be controlled together like in zarfy (rather than lxrandr which uses two separate comboboxes). i.e. the resolution menu might look like this:
1280x1024 (60Hz)
1024x768 (75Hz)
1024x768 (60Hz)
800x600 (75Hz)
800x600 (60Hz)

Configuring Refresh Rates possible?

I recently had an issue with my monitor, where it wouldn’t give any signal when being on 60hz, instead of the usual 120 I have. Maybe adding an option to change it or using the highest available on default would be nice to have.

Two screens on one monitor?

It's now possible - https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/xorg/xserver/-/merge_requests/981 - to have two screens on one monitor. The ability to set this up in arandr would be amazing! Thanks!

TypeError: Couldn't find foreign struct converter for 'cairo.Context'

When I open arandr the viewer is just white but I can still select things and move them.
