pre-release10 months ago

The Twinkle Tray beta versions are for testing new features and gathering feedback. It is strongly recommended you install the latest non-beta version for regular use.

Changes since v1.16.0-beta4:

  • Implemented a (hopefully) more accurate, but significantly slower process for detecting DDC/CI enabled displays. There's a toggle in the Troubleshooting settings to turn it off, but feedback would be appreciated if you're experiencing issues with this new process.
  • Various fixes to the new hotkey functionality.
  • Added a "Get coordinates" button for the sun-position scheduling feature. This uses Cloudflare to estimate your coordinates based on your IP.
  • Improved error handling in the Settings window to hopefully make reporting any issues easier and not end up with a completely useless window.
  • Reduced the startup time for Twinkle Tray's icon/UI to be visible. However, due to the new DDC/CI detection process, the brightness controls will take a few seconds longer than before to become available.
  • The "Get Current Brightness" toggle now also applies to active non-brightness DDC/CI features. The setting has been renamed to match the new functionality.
  • Several settings have been renamed to make their current value clearer.
  • Custom DDC/CI features should now be possible on displays that don't use a standard brightness VCP code. Further work is still needed.
  • Adjusted the timing/logic of handling hardware changes to hopefully cause fewer issues with slow displays.
  • Added a potential workaround for DEL41D9 monitors not waking up due to brightness values being re-applied at a bad time.
  • Added a workaround for FUS06AB monitors using a non-standard brightness VCP code.
  • Added a debug option to show the console window.
  • Fixed Linked Levels not working.
  • Fixed monitor IDs being tracked inconsistently.
  • Fixed taskbar height being incorrectly calculated in Windows 11 under certain conditions.
  • Disabled "high contrast" accessibility option in Windows affecting Twinkle Tray, as it broke the UI.

Please see the v1.16.0-beta1 release notes for important information about this update.
