Note

Sometimes I work on a laptop with a damaged matrix. Most often I connect to this laptop via the virtual desktop. Then I use the maximum resolution. However, I have to do some things directly on it. Then I have to change the resolution to a much lower one.

Sometimes I have to switch resolutions frequently during my work. Changing the resolution using the Control Panel is very inconvenient for me, so I wrote this program.

Compilation

You need Delphi XE2 or newer (the free Delphi Community version is enough).

You also need to install the following packages/components:

• JPLib: https://github.com/jackdp/JPLib
• JPPack: https://github.com/jackdp/JPPack
• JPModLib: https://github.com/jackdp/JPModLib
• JVCL: https://github.com/project-jedi/jvcl
• DzHTMLText2: https://github.com/jackdp/DzHTMLText2

To compile, just open src/QuickChangeRes.dproj file in Delphi, than select menu Project -> Build.
