I really thank you for this tools it made it easy for me to change brightness of my Dell U2415
but I think it's best if you ad an option to make the brightness the same as current windows brightness level

Hi ERROPiX,
I have no idea what you mean by current windows brightness level (in laptop keyboard controls?). Could you elaborate on your request?

Here is the laptop keyboard keys I am talking about

When clicking these keys, the bghtiness of the laptop monitor is changed, and and windows 10 detect it

What I suggest, is a feature to make brightness of external monitor follow the brightness of laptop screen brightness

another feature, is making the app start with windows

Hey @erropix, you can already make the app start with Windows by right-clicking the tray icon:

Yes,
I did that, but from the task manager, I never know that there is such a menu!
Thanks

So @emoacht as I seen that menu pointed by @halbrd I see the moving together as an option to make all the external monitors brightness the same as you move one slider, the others also get moved right?

The main laptop screen brightness is adjusted by keyboard keys as shown above, and also by display settings

maybe you can detect the current level of the settings, or just offer a keyboard shortcut to increase/decrease brightness

I accidentally closed and reopened.
@erropix Try [This file is deleted.]
I modified the function to enable moving together which would accommodate your use case.

Hi,

Moving together was already there, but I tried the new version and it doesn't change anything, when I use the keyboard shortcut fn + brightness up or down it only change the laptop brightness

maybe this should help

Thanks

I see. It works fine on Surface Pro and ThinkPad.
FYI, To use moving together, check "Enable moving together" in menu window and then select monitors to be moved together by clicking the button at the far right in main window.
