My Vision allows you to store and quickly switch between multiple display configuration profiles directly from the GNOME system menu. Profiles are bound to specific display devices, eliminating the need for redundant profiles in scenarios where video outputs are detected or ordered unpredictably.
If you change the language settings in system wide LOCALE, existing profiles may become invalid and you will need to create new ones. Profiles have their own hash fingerprint composed of device descriptions, and different languages generate different hash fingerprints. When you revert LOCALE to its original values, the original profiles will start working again. You may have lot of profiles for lot of LOCALE configurations.
- 🖥️ Save and restore display configurations with a single click
- ⌨️ Keyboard shortcuts support for fast profile switching
- 🔄 Profiles are bound to physical display names (not port order)
- 📋 Drag & drop reordering of saved configurations
- ⚡ Quick access from the GNOME Quick Settings menu
- The order of video output connectors does not matter — the target is always identified by the display name
- Fixed various bugs from the original version
- Enhanced preferences UI with drag & drop support
