rotator

Basic rotation control tray icon with tiny footprint.

I made this pretty much for my own use only, so I didn't really put in a lot of failsafes in it.

Note that I am only able to test this on my own setup, so if anything fails, please let me know! I'd love to make this more universal!

usage

At the moment, it's extremely basic. It creates a tray icon that you can click to toggle automatic rotation on and off. It utilizes the accelerometer to automatically rotate the screen, and also rotates the input devices described in config::XDevs (eg. touchscreen, touchpad)

compiling

BEFORE COMPILING, make sure to modify config::XDevs for the names of the input devices you want to rotate! You can find these by using xinput

dependencies

You need the following libraries, and their respective headers:

• gio
• gtk+
• x11
• xrandr
• xinput

Additionally, you'd need:

• pkg-config
• a c++ compiler

Then, you can compile it with the following command:

c++ rotate.cpp $(pkg-config --libs --cflags glib-2.0 gio-2.0 gtk+-2.0 xrandr xi x11) -mtune=native -march=native -Ofast -o rotate

It then will create a binary, rotate, in the current directory. Run that, and you'll get your rotation control!
