Twinkle Tray

Adjust the brightness levels as well as the backlight on multiple external monitors with the help of this nifty little tray application

Having multiple screens or monitors is without a doubt one of the best-proven ways to increase overall productivity since it allows us to share data between apps more easily, as well as have a far better multitasking experience.
Happily, Windows 10 is quite good at handling multiple monitors, and it even offers a lot more options in this regard than earlier versions. Nevertheless, when it comes to adjusting the brightness and even backlight of external monitors, Windows typically doesn’t fare all that well.

Manage the brightness levels on multiple monitors with ease

Hence, if you’re working with multiple monitors and often feel the need to change the brightness and backlight levels, then we definitely suggest taking a look at Twinkle Tray.
In short, Twinkle Tray is a super-stylish and very efficient, Electron-based application that provides instant access to the brightness levels of all compatible monitors and, as its name suggests, it does so directly from the system tray.
Before we go even further, it’s worth noting that the app uses DDC/CI (Display Data Channel and Command Interface) and WMI (Windows Management Instrumentation) to establish communication with your monitors.

Perfectly integrates with Windows 10’s GUI

Right off the bat, one of the best aspects of Twinkle Tray is just how seamlessly it integrates with Windows 10. Once installed, the app adds a small icon in your computer’s system tray from where you can normalize the brightness levels across different monitors via easy-to-operate sliders.
For such a seemingly straightforward app, Twinkle Tray offers a surprising amount of configuration options. Just head over to the Settings menu, and you’ll see that the app can be set up to automatically launch at system startup, change the brightness update rate (by default it’s 500 ms), and even choose between various GUI themes.
Taking everything into account, Twinkle Tray is a very good application by all standards. It’s very useful, easy to install, effortless to work with, and it looks right at home on Windows 10.
