Description

As the minimum brightness of a monitor is sometimes still too bright for you to work at night, the original purpose of Screen Dimmer was to simply render a black layer on top of it to even lower the brightness of your screen.

Screen Dimmer allows you to set the brightness level easily and quickly by using hotkeys. You can also change the color of the overlay layer (e.g. to yellow) to use Screen Dimmer as a blue-light filter to protect your precious eyes.

Plus, if you works with multiple screens, Screen Dimmer gives you the capablity of dimming the one that you want, with hotkeys! This can be handy when you are giving presentation and want to mute the secondary screen without any accesses in hand.

screendimmer's Issues

[Feature Request] add Startup

I added the program to Windows startup, but at startup the program window opens, but I would like it to be in the tray. Through the properties of the Run-Minimized shortcut, the program starts minimized, and shortcut is visible on the taskbar. Please add the ability to correctly startup.
I have tried many similar programs with screen dimming option at 0 or minus, and only yours works correctly with two monitors. This is great!

Screen is permanently dimmed

I downloaded the program, decreased the brightness, and closed the program on an windows 11 laptop, but the dimness never went away and reopening the program to increase the brightness didn't help. How do I get rid of this overlay?

thanks for your effort

hi it is a great and perfect program but it need to change his hot key because windows 10 use the same hot key
