EdgeSlide v0.2.1

EdgeSlide v0.2.1

A small fix release.

Fixed

• Bluetooth / output switching—volume now follows your current default playback
  device. If you connected Bluetooth headphones (or switched output) after EdgeSlide was
  already running, it used to keep changing the old device; it now tracks whatever Windows
  makes the default.

First launch: Windows SmartScreen may say "Windows protected your PC" (the app
isn't code-signed yet). Click More info → Run anyway.

Requires a Windows Precision Touchpad on Windows 10/11. Full notes in the
CHANGELOG.

EdgeSlide v0.2.0

EdgeSlide v0.2.0

A feature update: choose how each edge responds (relative or absolute control), and silence either on-screen
slider if your system already shows its own.

Added

• Slider mode, per edge—set each edge to Relative or Absolute:
  • Relative (new default): the value moves up or down from its current level as
    you slide, so where you first touch doesn't matter—starting near the bottom no
    longer snaps it to 0.
  • Absolute: the value jumps to your finger's position (top = max, bottom = min)—the original behaviour.
• Per-control overlay switches—separate Brightness overlay and Volume
  overlay toggles in Settings → Behaviour. Turn one off if Windows already shows its
  own indicator for it (some machines display a native volume OSD, some don't).

Changed

• Sliders now default to Relative. If you preferred the old jump-to-finger feel,
  flip either edge back to Absolute in Settings.

Windows on ARM

Runs on Windows 11 ARM via built-in x64 emulation. A native ARM64 binary isn't shipped
here yet, but the repo includes a script (build-portable-arm64.bat) to build one.

EdgeSlide v0.1.1

EdgeSlide v0.1.1

A small maintenance update—smoother, and fixes a layout bug on high-DPI laptops.

Fixed

• Settings window on high-DPI displays—it no longer opens cramped with clipped labels or shrunken dropdowns (e.g. "Left edge", a dropdown showing just "B"). The window now sizes correctly for your display scaling, and the layout reflows to fit any width.

Changed

• Smoother brightness—no longer re-queries Windows (WMI) on every step of a slide.
• Snappier HUD—the slider overlay disappears the moment you lift your finger.

Under the hood

• Quieter, more reliable build tooling and minor cleanups.

EdgeSlide v0.1.0

EdgeSlide v0.1.0—first public release 🎉

Turn the left and right edges of your Windows Precision Touchpad into sliders:
left edge = screen brightness, right edge = volume. Slide a finger up/down the
outer few millimetres and the value follows in real time, with a small on-screen HUD.
The rest of the touchpad keeps working exactly as normal.

What's in this release

• Edge sliders—left → brightness, right → volume (either side reassignable, or off)
• Top = max, bottom = min, with an optional invert toggle
• Single-finger only—two-finger scrolling and other gestures pass straight through
• Doesn't fire while you're typing or when a second finger is down
• Configurable strip width (3–15 mm) and activation hold
• Launch at Windows startup option
• Lives quietly in the system tray—no main window

Download

Grab EdgeSlide.exe below. It's a single portable file—no installer, .NET is
bundled in. Run it and it appears in your tray. To remove it, exit from the tray and
delete the file.

First launch: Windows SmartScreen may say "Windows protected your PC" because
the app isn't code-signed yet. Click More info → Run anyway. This is normal for
small independent apps.

Requirements

• Windows 10 or 11
• A Precision Touchpad (most modern laptops; older "legacy" touchpads won't work)
• Brightness control needs a display that supports it (most laptop screens do)

Notes

• This is an early 0.1 release—expect rough edges, and please report anything odd
  via Issues.
• Free & open source (MIT). If it's useful, ☕ https://ko-fi.com/puttingpixelstogether/tip
