Change screen brightness with a click or a keyboard shortcut

DimScreen is a small app that easily changes the brightness of your screens. In laptops this is achieved thanks to two shortcuts (Fn and two function keys); it is in computers such as desktops, where these keys don't work or don't exist, that DimScreen proves its worth.

Since it does not require installation, the DimScreen executable can reside in any folder, such as the Home Folder. Right-clicking on the notification icon opens up the brightness selection menu, with ten different levels. To help you locate the icon, DimScreen will automatically light up the menu.

The keyboard shortcuts are really useful. They are configured in the Settings menu. They are a good substitute of the function keys in laptops. Also, DimScreen offers you the possibility of choosing the brightness level that will be activated when you start the program.

  • Pros

    • Customizable keyboard shortcuts
    • Initial brightness parameter
    • Works with all screens
    • Does not require installation
  • Cons

    • Does not assign shortcuts to specific percentages
    • Only ten brightness levels to choose from

I turn it off, but can't turn on again, any tips? Where's even the app installed?

by hghg

This application is amazing. I don't understand how some of these people reviewing it cannot figure out how to use it. It is very simple. Look at your system tray and right click the dimscreen icon, from there you can increase, decrease, or exit. It is that simple. 10/10 app, I use it every night.
