autorandr VS win2xcur

could use the postswitch hook provided by autorandr, though this would require letting autorandr manage your display layout as well: https://github.com/phillipberndt/autorandr

autorandr worked great for me for hot plugging when I would frequently use my laptop with two external monitors.

Autorandr does run in the background as it is a daemon. For systemd integration see https://github.com/phillipberndt/autorandr/blob/master/contrib/systemd/autorandr.service

I use autorandr (https://github.com/phillipberndt/autorandr) to load display configurations with a hotkey. I'm 100% sure there is a "better" way of doing so over my setup.

If your using X11, try autorandr. It's a bit clunky for me with the windows moving around after waking up but they eventually find where they're supposed to be... mostly.

I would suggest taking a look at something like autorandr to help dynamically adjust your settings when you connect/disconnect.

There's also autorandr that allows you to save monitor setups and automatically switch between them as you connect/disconnect displays

No, but you can save settings to script and run on login. Arandr does it with GUI. Autorandr automates and manages multiple setups.

this should work for converting to the usual X format from windows (i've only used it to convert from X to windows tho)

I am learning how to do some theming and I have run into an issue with trying to convert a custom cursor used previously on windows from .ani to a format usable on linux. using win2xcur i was able to turn the .ani into an xcursor file but I am stuck at the next step of making gnome-tweaks or terminal recognize the file. I know it needs to go in usr/share/icons, but since it's not a .theme file, it's not viable as a selection i guess. How can i turn an xcursor file into a .theme file? is there another script for this? or am i missing something else in the process?
