Tidal 0.1.2

Software dimming comes to Tidal.

Download Tidal-win-Setup.exe below (or the portable zip). It installs just for you, with no admin rights, and adds Tidal to the Start menu. Settings from earlier versions carry over.

What's new in 0.1.2

• Dim below 0: turn it on for a display in Settings, and the slider and shortcuts keep going past its lowest brightness, down to -50, by darkening the picture in software. Shortcuts pause at 0 on the way down, so you don't slip into it by accident.
• Monitors without DDC/CI (and other displays Tidal can't control) now get a brightness slider too, using the same software dimming, instead of "No hardware control".
• The dimming is left out of screenshots and screen sharing, and it disappears if Tidal closes, so a screen can never get stuck dark.

Good to know

• Software dimming darkens the picture, not the backlight, so it doesn't save power. The Windows Start menu and other system pop-ups aren't dimmed.
• Requires 64-bit Windows 10 (2004 or later) or Windows 11.
• This preview isn't code-signed, so Windows SmartScreen may say "Windows protected your PC": choose More info, then Run anyway.
