Black Curtain

I have two monitors. Sometimes I want to turn one of them off when it distracts me. But turning the monitor off causes OS to rearrange windows and sometimes even fail at that. Changing brightness programmatically also does not work reliably. So I made this.

A GUI app that fills a monitor with a solid color — useful to quickly black out a specific screen. Supports custom colors, control through both mouse and keyboard.

Controls

Action Mouse Keyboard
Toggle fullscreen Double-click Space
Minimize window Right-click Enter
Show help Middle-click F1
Always on top* L

* Not available on Wayland.

Installation

On Linux, download the AppImage. Most likely your distro has an established way to install AppImages, like GearLevel or AppImageD. Or just doubleclick it.

Windows version is like winter: it is coming.
