I added two new facilities to my WD_Arch64 system today:
1. Toggle between two different screen resolutions (relatively low resolution and medium). I toggle to low when I want to quickly make text more readable (meaning larger looking text) for my poor eyes.
2. Already had this facility - save RAM changes to disk (i.e. like save2flash) but implemented user interface more conveniently per the below.
For case 1, I wrote a simply if...then...else toggle script to run either of two xrandr commands (one for low res and one for medium).
For case 2, using a simple script to rsync back to disk only items that have changed in main filesystem.
But main thing was that I am using a nice facility of tint2 (using its properties setup window), which makes it easy to add buttons to the panel area (which is where the clock is). At the moment I'm simply using simple text "T_D" for Toggle Display resolution, and wd_s for the rsync save. Later I'll probable add icons insteads (if I can be bothered).
Anyway, to toggle screen resolution (between low and medium, and back again) I simply need to left click the T_D tint2 panel button (using mouse) and to rsync changes from RAM to disk I just need to click on wd_s button whenever I wish. Proving very handy. (The also shown 59% is charging battery indicator - also provided by tint2)
