BrightnessTray

A simple Windows utility which lets you control your laptop screen brightness, right from your system tray.

Use your mouse/scroll wheel!

Extra features

• Power off the laptop screen, and any connected monitors if possible.
• Sleep mode shortcut.
• Start the screensaver... e.g. Fliqlo flip clock on demand!
• Enable 'Caffiene' mode to keep the monitor from turning off during idle.
• Enable 'Autostart' to put a shortcut in the startup folder.

Optional Customisation!

• Show a static icon in the tray with the /NoTextIcon launch parameter
• Hide the brightness text label in the fly-out window with the /NoPercentageText launch parameter
• Customise the tray icon text colours using BrightnessTray.ini using either color name strings or ARGB format (0-255 values)
