Display configuration protection (also: protection for/against VRR)

[waydabber]

A watchdog feature should keep watch over a display's resolution and refresh rate and if the OS or a third party agent changes it away from the desired option, the app should change it back.

The feature is useful if the OS changes a display's resolution for a new layout (when the default resolution does not match what the user wants) or when the OS is choosing the wrong refresh rate (enables VRR for example by mistake or disables it or select a lower/higher refresh rate than desired).

Note: the #423 enhancement request will be handled with this feature.

Please add this soon! I will literally pay money to have this feature added ASAP.

I have a G-SYNC display, and due to Apple's poor adaptive sync implementation my screen flickers like crazy when I have it enabled. So, when my mac chooses variable refresh rate automatically when I plug it in, I'm very understandably annoyed.

Could you please mention, or email, me when this feature is implemented?

Either that or add me as a developer, and I'll do it myself.

All right, I'll bump this up in priority. :)

Thank you so much! One issue though... I am unable to see that option in my menu. I opted to receive beta updates, so my current version is 1.3.0. Has this feature been released yet?

[jsadowyj]

Ah, nevermind. Just saw the unreleased tag. Would you mind replying to this again once the feature is released? :)

[waydabber]

All right. It's a bit more complicated than I thought but hopefully will get it right.

@jsadowyj - here is an interim build to test the feature if you have some time for it.

Sure thing. I'll download it later this evening and let you know if I experience any issues.

Thanks! Please let me know if you did download it so I can remove the DL link. :)
