Comments on: BlackOut – Screen Dimmer http://bruceburge.com Fri, 16 Mar 2012 15:22:44 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.3.1 By: Desmond http://bruceburge.com/software/blackout-screen-dimmer/comment-page-1/#comment-2021 Desmond Fri, 16 Mar 2012 15:22:44 +0000 http://bruceburge.com/?page_id=56#comment-2021 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.

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. @Desmond

Thanks for your comment.

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. Can you program it to dim monitors that currently do not have the mouse or cursor on?

This would also be helpful so you could adjust the monitors to eachother if they have different brightness I would also love to see an option to control the dimming of monitors individually, for example when I watch movies or play games on one, being able to dim the other.
