dimglow's Introduction

DimGlow

  • The application features a user-friendly interface with a trackbar for adjusting the transparency level of the overlay.

  • DimGlow provides a sleek and efficient solution for creating a comfortable viewing experience in low-light environments.

Usage

  • The range of the trackbar is from 0 to 95. Also I include a restriction to the trackbar so that the user can't use the value of +100 (It will be too dark).
  • The mouse and Window Manager are still visible because of Win32 Registers.
  • If any related HTML5 videos are still visible as normal bright it's because of some Video Enhancement Software (AMD Radeon, Intel, etc). Make sure you check them!
  • In case you slide the trackbar all the way to the right (maximum value) and the screen become to dark, you can increase the brightness of the screen psychically.

WARNING:

  • WARNING: This application triggers Windows Defender SmartScreen. This is because the application is NOT SIGNED. To run the application, click on "More info" and then "Run anyway". The application is open-source and the source code can be viewed in the repository.

  • If you don't trust me, you can build the application yourself using Visual Studio.

  • The executable file will be located in the bin folder of the project directory. Just move the entire /src files in the main directory and run DimGlow.sl

TODO:

  • Solve the issue with the application triggering Windows Defender SmartScreen.
  • Solve the issue with "Dark Mode" checkbox to remain saved when the application is closed.
  • Show battery status.
  • Multi-monitor support.
  • Multi-monitor separate functionality.

Behind the scenes

  • This project was built using Visual Studio 2022. To run the application, open the solution file in Visual Studio and build the project.

  • It's used primarily for reducing eye strain when using a laptop screen in dark environments (e.g. in bed, on a plane, etc.).

  • Reducing the amount of light emitted from the screen to improve battery life.

  • Learn how to use the Win32 API in C# and to get rid of the annoying blue light filter that comes with Windows 10/11.
