Fixing Screen Resolution On Raspberry Pi 4 Running Wayland Labwc and Raindrop With i3wm

Arandr was scriptable and made sense after being replaced with raindrop I couldn't find any info on setting up a config for raindrop the drop in Arandr replacement. First I added an exec no startup id to load raindrop on login with i3 but I finally came up with a better solution.


  exec --no-startup-id xrandr --output HDMI-1 --mode 1680x1050
  

The raspberry pi loads perfectly when I am on my smaller computer monitor but when on the TV text would be cut off on the top of the screen. This was bugging me for ages. I'm glad I finally have this sorted out so all I have to do is plug it in and it auto starts
