Portrait mode: fit to screen

[ilazaridis]

First of all, thanks for your time and your effort.
It seems to work quite good.

Now, my setup is 3 screens.
2 on landscape mode and one on portrait mode.
On the one on portrait mode, the wallpaper is off because it doesn't fit to the screen.

I guess this piece information can be fetched somehow from xrandr and resize or fit to screen accordingly.

Hi @ilazaridis 👋

You're right, that information is included in the output.

Diff:

# Normal
DVI-I-1-1 connected 1600x900+1366+0 (normal left inverted right x axis y axis) 382mm x 215mm

# Rotated
DVI-I-1-1 connected 900x1600+1366+0 right (normal left inverted right x axis y axis) 382mm x 215mm

Currently the script uses regex to looks for lines which have information on the current screen settings
i.e. these lines:

   1366x768      60.00*+  40.00  
   1366x768      60.00*+  40.00  

What you could do is add another regex which looks for connected displays. i.e. these lines:

Screen 0: minimum 320 x 200, current 2966 x 900, maximum 16384 x 16384
DVI-I-1-1 connected 900x1600+1366+0 right (normal left inverted right x axis y axis) 382mm x 215mm

Notice that the second line contains right keyword before (normal left inverted right x axis y axis). Using a regex match, the orientation can be taken from these lines here and set to a variable, which can be used later to correctly crop and combine the background image.

I'm not using i3 anymore so I can't fix this myself sorry 😓 But you are welcome to fix this yourself and send a PR :) That would be awesome!
