monitorcontrol / monitorcontrollite Goto Github PK

Is volume control purposefully avoided in this version, due to some AppStore guidelines?

I noticed that I have to first set the brightness of my monitor to 100% manually and then open up the app to allow its full brightness range to be adjustable.
So my question is, does it truly control the brightness of my external monitors hardware-wise? or it's just software-wise? Cause it seems like my actual monitor settings would maintain output 100% of brightness which makes me wonder if that will shorten my monitors' lifespan.

Thanks!

I configurated MonitorControl Lite to F1 and F2 hotkey.

Hotkey F1/F2 not works in MingthCommander (mcedit) now. I think MonitorControl intercept hotkey event and stop propogation to other software.

The tool bar widget states displays are at 100% but they are not, and are actually different percentages in System preferences.

Hi Istvan,

Is there any - even remote - chance that this app could coexist with f.lux on the same machine? I can't imagine even existing without f.lux and dimming my display in the evening hours is also super-important. Could the dimming be achieved using DDC commands (such as https://github.com/kfix/ddcctl)?

The restore last saved values to the display thing reflects the screen brightness correctly in the menubar, but only applies when I physically update it.

My monitor always turns on at 100% brightness, and I hate manually updating it, even though the default value should be saved.

Hello!

First and foremost thank you for creating this software. I have the new Mac Studio and I cannot get the program to recognize any F keys, F1 and F2 being the target of course. Even trying to do them as cmd and F*, the input field does not recognize them. I am able to do cmd 1 and cmd 2, and they work, but I'd really love to have the F1 and F2 button functionality as those are typically the native buttons on the magic keyboard. Any help would be appreciated!

Thanks
Jason

When you name a monitor as long as you do not restart your machine, the monitor can be disconnected & reconnected with the custom name being remembered (Such as "Left" or "Right"). If you restart your machine, the custom names are lost.

Hi @waydabber,
This lite version of Monitor Control is pretty neat 💪 I'd be interested in setting up localization (if needed) and localizing it to French 🇫🇷 (my second tongue). If that's ok, I'll make a draft PR for this.
