Computer Monitor Hotkey Resolution Changer

Most computer users do not change monitor resolutions frequently on their computer system. They usually run the native solution and have no need to change it. But developers, webmasters and advanced users might have the need to switch to different resolutions regularly. They can naturally do that manually but that is not the fastest way of changing the monitor resolution. If it has to be done a lot it quickly becomes annoying.

Enter Hotkey Resolution Changer. It is a small portable AutoIt software that can be used to configure keyboard shortcuts for monitor resolutions.

The program places an icon into the system tray upon launch. A click on the icon displays the program interface that is used to configure the different screen resolutions and their hotkeys.

A total of nine different monitor resolutions and hotkeys can be configured in the program. Supported are resolutions of 800×600 and above with maximum frequencies of 100 Hertz. Users who need lower resolutions or more Hertz can edit the source code of the program and compile it to have those values at their disposal. The color depth can also be defined for each configuration individually.

The software will automatically retrieve the supported resolutions from the operating system. Pressing a hotkey will automatically switch to that resolution.
