screenresolution

screenresolution is a simple, cross-platform Go package library used to detect the current screen resolution. It follows the UNIX philosophy of doing one thing and doing it well.

It supports Windows, Linux and MaxOS.

Example

package main

import (
	"fmt"
	"os"

	"github.com/fstanis/screenresolution"
)

func main() {
	resolution := screenresolution.GetPrimary()
	if resolution == "" {
		fmt.Println("failed to get screen resolution")
		os.Exit(1)
	}
	fmt.Println(resolution)
}

Limitations

screenresolution can only get the resolution from the default (primary) display. A future update will add support for getting the resolutions of all attached displays.

Dependencies

On Linux, libx11-dev is required.

sudo apt-get install libx11-dev
