           Summary: Show default resolution (instead of "Default") but
                    embolden it
           Product: Xfce
           Version: 4.5.x (SVN trunk)
          Platform: PC (x86)
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: NEW
          Severity: enhancement
          Priority: Medium
         Component: xfce-mcs-plugins
        AssignedTo: xfce-bugs at xfce.org
        ReportedBy: alexander.toresson at gmail.com


Here's a patch that makes the display plugin show the default resolution and
frame rate instead of displaying just "Default", but emboldens the text to mark
it as the default one. This way, you can actually find out what resolution and
frame rate the default resolution has. I've found it odd for quite some time
that this info isn't in the gui.
What made me write a patch was that we had a person in #xfce today who said he
couldn't make his Xorg produce his preferred resolution, while it actually
turned out that he had his preferred resolution set (but the display plugin
didn't inform him about this).
Firstly, I tried to instead append " (Default)" to the default mode, but that
made for quite a wide list. So after a tip from Darren Salt, I made it bold
instead. It works kinda well, only problem would be if people don't understand
that the bold one is the default mode.
Also, on a minor note and as another tip from Darren, I exchanged the 'x'
separating the width and height in the resolution for the more correct '×'.
