That looks OK to me.  I do:

NSNotificationCenter *dnc = [NSNotificationCenter defaultCenter];
[dnc addObserver: self selector: @selector (didChangeScreenParameters:)
    name: NSApplicationDidChangeScreenParametersNotification object: nil];

...

- (void) didChangeScreenParameters: (NSNotification *) notification
{
    ...
}

What object is 'self' in your scenario?  It needs to exist for the life of the 
app, obviously.

I tried this one but it doesn't seem to be doing anything, so odds are I am 
adding the observer wrong. I am a little new at this, if that wasn't obvious 
haha.


// Second notification, when the screens change
[nc addObserver:self
selector:@selector(handleBackgroundChange:)
name:NSApplicationDidChangeScreenParametersNotification 
object:nil];


The handleBackgroundChange is just supposed to print a message with NSLog.

  Returns a stale value for [NSScreen visibleFrame] after the dock 
  moves from one screen to another (on Snow Leopard at least). 
  Solution: wait a second or so, then ask again.

  This notification is also sent when the screen arrangement or 
  dock is reconfigured.  I find this useful.

  Hey all,

  After some searching through the API, which apparently I am not 
  good at, I figured asking was easier. Does anyone know of a 
  notification that gets posted when another screen is 
  added/detected. I figured it would be in NSWorkspace but I 
  didn't see anything. Thanks.
