Twinkle Tray
Twinkle Tray is a Windows display manager and DDC/CI monitor control utility designed to manage hardware settings across internal and external displays. It functions as a system tray application that allows for the adjustment of brightness, contrast, and volume on multiple monitors.
The project provides multi-display brightness normalization to balance backlight levels across different hardware profiles for a consistent visual experience. It also includes an automatic brightness scheduler that modifies luminosity based on the time of day or system idle states.
Beyond the user interface, the software features a command line interface for automating brightness changes and executing hardware adjustments via scripts. Users can also map custom keyboard shortcuts to trigger brightness changes for specific or all connected monitors.
Features
- Hardware Brightness Management - Manages and synchronizes backlight levels across multiple heterogeneous monitors from a single interface.
- DDC/CI Controllers - Implements DDC/CI protocol communication to modify monitor hardware settings directly.
- Hardware Display Managers - Provides a desktop tool for normalizing backlight levels and managing hardware settings across internal and external displays.
- Visual Brightness Normalization - Provides a system tray slider to balance and normalize backlight levels across multiple different monitors.
- Display Brightness Normalization - Calculates relative brightness offsets across different monitors to achieve a consistent visual experience.
- Command Line Display Tools - Provides a CLI utility for automating brightness changes and hardware adjustments via scripts.
- Command Line Interfaces - Provides a command line interface for managing brightness, listing displays, and sending VCP codes.
- Display Automation Tools - Provides tools for automatically dimming displays based on time or idleness to reduce eye strain.
- Hardware State Triggers - Triggers monitor brightness updates automatically based on system clock intervals or idle state changes.
- Temporal Brightness Scheduling - Automatically adjusts monitor brightness based on the time of day or system idle state.
- System Tray Integrations - Integrates a persistent background process into the Windows system tray for hardware state management.
- System Utilities - Application for managing brightness across multiple monitors.
