Display Switcher

A simple Python script for quickly switching the screen resolution between two preset values.

I use it only to quickly change my resolution when I want to play CS2, so it matches my in-game resolution.

How It Works

The script checks the current monitor resolution, compares it with two preset values, and switches it to the other saved resolution.

• If the first resolution is currently active, it switches to the second one.
• If the second one is active, it switches back to the first one.

Setup

To make the script run with a single PowerShell command, add a custom function to your PowerShell profile.

1. If the profile does not exist yet, create it and open it:

if (!(Test-Path $PROFILE)) { New-Item -ItemType File -Path $PROFILE -Force }
notepad $PROFILE

2. Add a function like this:

function disp { & "PATH_TO_PYTHONW" "PATH_TO_SCRIPT" }

3. Replace:

• PATH_TO_PYTHONW with the path to pythonw.exe inside the virtual environment.
• PATH_TO_SCRIPT with the path to the Python script.

Running It

After saving the PowerShell profile, start the script with:

disp

This allows the script to run instantly without opening the project manually.
