Ah thank you for your quick reply It’s fair enough I do like the dimmer, and will use it for the moment, but if a multi-dimming active bright app is found I’ll most likely use that, even if it cost money. I’m suffering from a little eye strain so I’d rather dim monitors then that at least for the time being.

@Desmond I thought about this after I submitted. If the above can be done an "instant dim" may not be desired, maybe a fade, as you move from monitor to monitor it fades to the desired dim level. But moving back it's instantly bright again.

Sadly, the way the dimming is being done, this would be rather difficult, as all dimming is applied to all screens by the same form, if I rewrite the application, I will keep this in mind as a requirement, but currently don’t have a timeline for the rewrite. Thanks for your comment.

Can you program it to dim monitors that currently do not have the mouse or cursor on?
I have three monitors, each of them large, One is used purely as a reference list/alert monitor. Idealy, if I see an alert popup and I move my mouse over to that monitor it would dim the other two monitors.

this functionality is currently available from the tray icon, I haven’t ported the code to use win7 method for adding functionality to the taskbar, and probably won’t be anytime soon, sorry of the inconvenience

@KD I have updated to page to include both the source and executable, be forewarned, this is very old stuff.

@KD Sorry seems there is some sort of issue with exe going missing, I'll see if I can't put together something similar and post it soon.

It would be nice to have an option to toggle whether or not to dim the taskbar.

@stealz I agree, that would be useful.
