I have a laptop that spends some of it’s time docked to a monitor and keyboard/mouse. I would like to know how to change some settings depending on if it’s connected to the dock or not. Is there a program that can help with this?

Some possible use-cases include:

  • Changing size of the taskbar to smaller/bigger
  • Changing the behavior of the taskbar to auto-hide
  • Changing the font size smaller/bigger
  • Changing power settings performance/battery saver
  • Enabling/disabling auto brightness
  • Enabling/disabling keyboard backlight

These are just a few things I can think of but can provide more.

Something like Android’s Tasker but for Linux would be great.

    You know what? That is actually some sound reasoning and I think that is an acceptable response.

    I intended my original comment to be more a a shot at google than yourself, but I can see why you came back with what you said as a result, and then I got salty about it so I apologize.

      Apology accepted 🙂

      Google gets a lot of hate, and they, as a company and as a search engine have gotten worse over the years, but they still do a lot of stuff right. I never took it personally, just giving an example.
