Adjusting brightness with twinkletray with hotkeys still show old windows 8 brightness slider, by adding this, the experience using both program become great

yes the last one, it's a mockup
Developer of Twinkle Tray here. To clarify, all UI displayed by Twinkle Tray is custom made (including the "Windows 8 style" brightness hotkey slider). One of the Modern Flyouts devs had commented on this previously. There's nothing Modern Flyouts can do to modify/use Twinkly Tray's UI, or vice versa.
If the Modern Flyouts devs are planning to implement their own WMI/DDC brightness controls, then Twinkle Tray wouldn't have anything to do with it. A collaboration isn't impossible, but it doesn't make a lot of sense to do. I don't think they'd need my help with that.
Hi @xanderfrangos, Yes we are planning to implement our own WMI/DDC brightness controls, hopefully in the 0.11 release. We would welcome a collaboration, as we are always looking for help.
@Samuel12321 I'd be happy to help, though I'm not sure what I can contribute. Twinkle Tray is primarily a UI built on other people's libraries. Even though I've helped out with the C++ WMI/DDC code used in Twinkle Tray, I honestly don't understand how it works at a low level, nor how to translate it to C#. I do understand it all at a high level, along with the quirks of WMI and DDC/CI.
@xanderfrangos do you have a discord account so we can discuss this further?
Couldn't ModernFlyouts expose an API for third party applications to access and display flyouts? maybe just support a basic level of custom icon, min max and custom numerical value. or if that sounds too much, just a custom icon, enforced 0-100 default min max and numerical value.
