Automatically detect refresh rate

[cschep]

This builds on the work of #98 but adds a menu for the user to choose their refresh rate dynamically. I'm not sure this is the perfect approach but I figured I'd start the discussion with code. It seems to work pretty well on my setup which is an M1 Pro MBP connected to an LG 1440p gaming monitor.

Update: @cristianrgreco asked about automatically detecting the refresh rate which turned out to be super easy and takes away the need for a menu simplifying everything. Sweet!

Thanks for considering @dmarcotte !

I'm already seeing some weirdness with resizing Finder windows.. Perhaps why there wasn't a shared rate before.

Nice! Is there a way to get the refresh rate automatically from the display properties? That way it'd work out of the box for all users

I like this idea. How would it work with VRR? Would it sync the refresh rate with the current refresh rate of the display, or constantly use the highest available refresh rate of the display?

[cristianrgreco]

My understanding of VRR is that it changes the RR rate between 0 and X depending on movement. So because this app is active when there is movement I guess we can always set it to X?

Right, that sounds good

I updated the code to auto detect refresh and use the fastest one. If I have my laptop open and my 144hz display it uses 144hz for everything. If I have my laptop only it gets set to 100hz.

Can anyone pull down and try running and see how it feels? Or I could provide a .app if that's helpful.
