New in v1.13.10
This release is primarily to mitigate issues with Windows 11 Insider builds. At the moment, Twinkle Tray is not fully compatible with these builds of Windows 11. I am looking into a proper fix for Windows 11's removal of WMIC.
New features & improvements:
- Improved error handling related to WMI monitor communication.
- Added an option for 1% brightness increments for hotkeys.
- Updated localizations for several languages.
v1.13.0 - v1.13.9
New features & improvements:
- Moved WMI + DDC/CI communication to another thread. Opening and interacting with the brightness flyout should now be more responsive.
- Improved handling of Windows theme changes.
- Twinkle Tray will attempt to restore your last brightness settings after the PC wakes from sleep or hibernation.
- Restored Theme option.
- The brightness flyout will no longer animate if animations are disabled in Windows.
- Brightness can now be controlled from the command line. See the readme for details.
- The last known brightness will now be restored at app startup. This can be turned off in the settings.
- Added command line flag to show overlay.
- When "link levels" is active, all displays will be combined into one slider.
- Added option to customize or disable "Turn Off Displays" feature.
- Added option for hotkeys to break Linked Levels.
- User settings are now removed on uninstall (including the Windows startup entry).
- Reduced slider judder in the flyout/overlay.
- Updated localizations for several languages.
- Added support for hidden taskbars.
- Added support for taskbars on non-primary displays.
- Added support for new Fluent UI icons (Windows build 21327+).
Fixes:
- Fixed overlay not staying open when interacting with it.

- Improved handling of hotkeys assigned to disconnected displays.
- Multiple instances of Twinkle Tray will now be prevented.
- Scheduled brightness should now correctly take effect after waking up from sleep or hibernation.
- Fixed hotkeys for all monitors and turning off displays not functioning.
