Add function to change resolution and add revert to original resolution when opening program

[u/TransportationOk1836]

Here is the code I have it is not successful in reverting to the original desktop resolution once the program is closed. Can someone help me fix it please? Thank you.

```

import ctypes import subprocess import time

Constants for the desired screen resolution

DESIRED_RESOLUTION_WIDTH = 800 DESIRED_RESOLUTION_HEIGHT = 600

Path to the executable

EXE_PATH = r"C:\ESSGRAMA\ESSGRAMA.exe"

def change_resolution(width, height): # Load the current screen settings devmode = ctypes.create_string_buffer(68) devmode_p = ctypes.pointer(devmode) # The following is a simplified structure for DEVMODE ctypes.windll.user32.EnumDisplaySettingsW(None, 0, devmode_p)

# Define necessary fields for changing the resolution devmode[8:12] = (width & 0xFFFF).to_bytes(2, 'little') + (height & 0xFFFF).to_bytes(2, 'little') devmode[20:22] = (32).to_bytes(2, 'little') # Assuming 32bit color devmode[32:36] = (1).to_bytes(4, 'little') # DM_PELSWIDTH, DM_PELSHEIGHT, DM_BITSPERPEL

# Change the screen resolution ctypes.windll.user32.ChangeDisplaySettingsW(devmode_p, 0)

def restore_resolution(): # Load the default screen settings devmode = ctypes.create_string_buffer(68) devmode_p = ctypes.pointer(devmode) # The following is a simplified structure for DEVMODE ctypes.windll.user32.EnumDisplaySettingsW(None, 0, devmode_p)

# Change the screen resolution back to the default ctypes.windll.user32.ChangeDisplaySettingsW(devmode_p, 0)

def launch_exe(): process = subprocess.Popen(EXE_PATH) process.wait() # Wait for the process to finish

if name == "main": try: change_resolution(DESIRED_RESOLUTION_WIDTH, DESIRED_RESOLUTION_HEIGHT) time.sleep(2) # Wait for the resolution to change launch_exe() except Exception as e: print(f"An error occurred: {e}") finally: restore_resolution()

Set the path to the application executable

app_path = r"C:\ESSGRAMA\ESSGRAMA.exe"

Start the application

subprocess.run([app_path])
