Focus Screen

[MintMondy]

I am using an old windows machine. I have set a custom resolution and startup .sh. It takes two, one at 6 sec. and one at 12 sec.. I however get screen tearing and blinking sections. I learned and not form a forum, I am on 21. I found a way to stop the screen error anomalies by going to Control Center, Desktop, Windows, then changing from Compiz to Marco-Composting, then from auto to double. then back to auto and then back to compiz and everything is fine. Can the devs take this in mind and make these steps integrated and boot automatic with screen resolutions. also duplicate screens and max resolutions to set a single resolution and two differing resolutions?

I don't even get what exactly you want to integrate. Your writing is confusing. You need to provide more background information for people to know why you want a monitor not displaying in its default resolution by default.

The part that I can understand your writing is the operation on desktop setting. Those GUI operations can be achieved by CLI, which means they can be appended into part of your scripts.

Code: Select all

gsettings set com.linuxmint.desktop mate-window-manager 'marco-composite'
gsettings set org.mate.interface window-scaling-factor 2
gsettings set org.mate.interface window-scaling-factor 0
gsettings set com.linuxmint.desktop mate-window-manager 'compiz'

In case the above run too fast and does not achieve the fix you want, we may interleave some sleep

Code: Select all

gsettings set com.linuxmint.desktop mate-window-manager 'marco-composite'
sleep 0.5
gsettings set org.mate.interface window-scaling-factor 2
sleep 0.5
gsettings set org.mate.interface window-scaling-factor 0
sleep 0.5
gsettings set com.linuxmint.desktop mate-window-manager 'compiz'

compiz does this for unknown reasons and just a temporary switch of desktop managers restarts compiz.
I have only encountered this using the MATE desktop.
Mostly it loses what is referred to as 'Windows Decorations' which are the navigation buttons, and move ability.
There is a newer version of compiz that addresses some focus issues as well as other fixes:
