Suggestion: Scroll to adjust screen brightness
Hi Ramon, I'm a user of Altdrag and found your introduction from https://github.com/stefansundin/altdrag/discussions/128, just tried and then love it, very impressive improvements & optimization. The SmartAero fixed gap between windows which occured in Altdrag, and the translation files are seperated in folder which is convenient to customize. Thanks a lot to you and Stefan
Best wishes Adam Wu
Good idea for a wheel action, I will see on how to implement this properly
translation files are seperated in folder which is convenient to customize.
If you have any improvements to make to some translation feel free to contribute here: #35, or submit a PR.

Among several tools and monitor HW buttons, this software https://github.com/emoacht/Monitorian works the best for me.

Thanks for ur suggestion, it works fine, but i already knew similar apps like BrightnessSlider or better to use command/shortcut : nircmd.exe changebrightness 1 3. The reason i suggested is mouse wheel seems more convenient and will make Altsnap better^^
I have not worked on this much because I do not have software control to change brightness on my monitor (old monitor), so I cannot directly test the feature. I did write something, you can give it a try.
This is a logging version that will display brightness info in the ad.log file.
To use you must manually set Scroll=Brightness
in the [Input] section of your ini file, using the test version below.
AltSnap1.62test17_x64.zip It is untested, It might even crash, so be careful and report if it works for you, also post the content of ad.log.
Thanks Ramon, it doesn't work. ad.log
Strange, maybe I am using the wrong API, try again with this one. delete your ad.log file before testing so I do not have to scroll down too much. hooks1.62test19_x64.zip
Are you using a laptop? According to some sources with laptops we should use WmiMonitorBrightnessMethods
interface instead of using the usual MCCS/I2C interface.
Yes, i'm using a surface pro 3. ad.log
I will investigate using the other API then, from the log it seems clear that the protocol is not handled by your monitor. I will inform you of course.
