A utility to allow laptop like monitor brightness control on a desktop.
Features:
- Lightwight: zero average cpu usage, less than 400k memory usage
- Manual Brightness control from slider opened by clicking on system tray.
- Automatic brightness based on configured sunrise and sunset times.
Requires VS2015 or above to build due to requirements for certain c++11 features.
Requires conan installed, also need to add the bincrafters remote
conan remote add bincrafters https://api.bintray.com/conan/bincrafters/public-conan
for local development
conan install . -s build_type=Debug --build=missing
then set your cmake environment to a debug one and build
Also requires wxWidgets libraries.
Uses wxWidgets for the interface, and json for config loading / saving. Currently only has a windows backend for setting monitor brightness, but a linux one is planned.
