Normalize Brightness for Multiple Monitors Setup #139

Open vhenzor opened 3 months ago

vhenzor commented 3 months ago

Is it possible to add an offset setting to normalize the global brightness when using multiple monitors? Monitors have different min and max brightness, by adding this it will greatly benefit the "All" slider and the use of keyboard shortcuts. User can manually set the offset based on their monitors.

Monitor 1 max brightness (100) = 500nits min brightness (0) = 100nits

Monitor 2 max brightness (100) = 350 nits min brightness (0) = 50 nits

Normalized Brightness Monitor 1: min 0 - max 70 Monitor 2: min 30 - max 100

This option is available on a similar app named TwinkleTray available on windows, it's a real life saver. https://github.com/xanderfrangos/twinkle-tray

There will be some normalization with #136

But perhaps it would be good to have settings to set max and min for each monitor.
