Overview | |
-------- | |
This file is invoked when switching from a standalone Macbook Pro display to a Apple Cinema display. | |
Originally, the only problem I was trying to solve was to move my dock from the side of the screen to | |
the bottom (which it does), but then after diving deeper in to the Applescript API's, it became obvious | |
to me that there was no limit to what I can configure. | |
Details | |
------- | |
The flow of the script is as follows: | |
-It obtains the current screen resolution | |
-Based upon that, it configures Dock and Webkit | |
Future | |
------ | |
As I find more things that are configured based upon my screen resolution, I will add them to this script. | |
Please feel free to fork and make it your own. |
