	`1`	`+# Resolution`
	`2`	`+This is a small application for switching monitor resolution without having to go into your computer settings. Very useful if you have an older system, and are having trouble running newer/more demanding games.`
	`3`	`+`
	`4`	`+# Prerequisites`
	`5`	`+pywintypes`
	`6`	`+win32con`
	`7`	`+win32api`
	`8`	`+time`
	`9`	`+Pyinstaller (optional, but recommended)`
	`10`	`+`
	`11`	`+# Usage`
	`12`	`+This app currently features 720p, 1080p and 1440p resolutions. If you wish to add more, add them in the same format as the other resolutions. The number is a string, so you could choose to set the input to letters if that is your preference.`
	`13`	`+`
	`14`	`+When run, the app will create a popup terminal for you to enter the resolution you want. It will first check if what you input is valid, then set your monitor's resolution based on the preset dimensions.`
	`15`	`+`
	`16`	`+# Export to exe`
	`17`	`+ For ease of use, I'd recommend exporting this to an exe using pyinstaller.`
	`18`	`+ Instructions for this can be found here -`
	`19`	+ ```https://pyinstaller.org/en/stable/usage.html```
	`20`	`+From there, create a shortcut to have it on your taskbar. To set the image, you can use any image you choose, but it will need to be in a .ico format. You can find converters to make these from other formats online.`
	`21`	`+That done, simply click on the icon, then enter your resolution in the terminal popup (only the width).`
