Description

Hello guys,

I'm trying to edit the simulated display for some shortcut apps. For example: I have this shortcut: C:\Users***\AppData\Local\Temp\33MadPmssbXb8L1qPjXPzK5S5Kk\Escrcpy.exe --device-id=*******--app-name=Outlook[com.microsoft.office.outlook] --package-name=com.microsoft.office.outlook But I want it to open on a custom window and resolution only for this app: 2304x1440/360. I tried to use argument from scrcpy (--new-display:2304x1440/360), but it didn't work.

It only work when I edit escrcpy Preferences for Device/Simulated Display, but it changes it for all shortcuts. So I would like to use a different resolution for different apps. What would be the argument to add to the shortcut?
