Not sure I could ever live with that - anyone able to test if multi monitors works?

You know how when your coworker leaves their desk and forgets to lock their computer, you change their desktop wallpaper to Oompa Loompas or whatever?

This is the new that.

How fine is the resolution of the tilt? I wonder how long it would take to figure out that your display was tilted by 1 degree or less.

Very fine, as long as the computer uses X (the ~~good~~ less shitty one). xrandr can use a matrix to transform the entire output, so you can scale, rotate, move, or shear it as much as you're evil.

Yeah but, will antialiasing be noticeable?

[–] macrocephalic@lemmy.world 6 points 2 years ago (1 children)

I actually think I'd notice quite quickly as all horizontal and vertical lines would be slightly jagged.

Don't you run with at least 8xAA in the desktop??

it always used to be using the windows command to rotate the screen, this will just add a new layer of confusion.

...or as they are using linux it will probably be seen as a good challenge

Windows command to rotate the screen, screenshot the desktop, set it as wallpaper, hide the icons & start bar... Functionally reversed mouse, and can't click anything.
