The original resolution switcher by HTC works good on earlier Windows, but has two problems on Win8. When activated it creates a window telling the current resolution. It is given focus and thus forces Metro back to the desktop.It switches between the native 800x480 and 1024x600 which is to low to run Metro apps.To fix this I started with a simple script that switches to 1152x864 with a window that displays the resolution without grabbing focus.Later I added some extras: Option to skip the window altogetherSeparate resolution in desktop and MetroA simple installer/uninstaller for the HTC Shift (or other devices that use a synaptics touchpad in the same matter, check the code).Code moved to attachment.
