Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe
External monitors whose brightness can't be changed directly from the OS aren't recognised by SlimHUD. Changing their brightness doesn't show the HUD.
Describe the solution you'd like
Use the implementation used in
- MonitorControl to retrieve the brightness
- https://github.com/alin23/Lunar
should work for volume, too
Describe alternatives you've considered
Don't do anything
Anything else?

@AlexPerathoner I just started using this great app today and this is the only feature I'm missing! Anyway, thanks for creating this app! Great work!
Haha, yeah! I'm waving over to you at the TUM! 👋
Are there any plans to support external monitors soon?
Yes, but I haven't looked into it yet. So it will probably take a couple weeks until I have a release ready. Anyway it's in top priority now :)
Just want to note that BetterDisplay (successor to MonitorControl) does support integration with external OSD presentation apps.

The API seems to be developed for MediaMate but made in a generic way so it's open to other apps as well.
