Idea for a new Tool: AutoHDR brightness changer #2

Hi, I saw the types of programs you made on GitHub, do you think you would know how to make a tray app similar to monitorian (https://github.com/emoacht/Monitorian) or twinkle tray (https://github.com/xanderfrangos/twinkle-tray), but instead of changing monitor brightness allow changing the autohdr brightness (the slider you can change when going into settings -> system -> monitor -> Use HDR -> Brightness for HDR-Content)?

Are you talking about this slider?

Yes, my system is in German language, so I did not 100% know the wording of the setting in English.

Will do some research to see if it can be controlled programmatically.

Not possible without reverse engineering windows. There is no api to interact with SDR content brightness. It's possible though through GUI automation but it's not a clean solution.

This slider affects Auto HDR white levels. That one is for SDR when HDR is enabled.
