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
