Independent color adjustment options for a PIP window/full screen stream #835

When watching a dimmed movie as Pic-in-Pic mode, or when using apps that don't support dark mode alongside the ones that do, it's annoying that one has to change the brightness of the whole screen or find a compromise. Apparently it's not possible on Mac as macOS applies calibration to the entire screen equally [1].

I was wondering if it'd be possible when using a dummy screen and apply brightness on an app-basis (or parts of the display).

You can dim the dummy screen separately via the brightness slider for the dummy (this uses overlay on the dummy screen). It would be beneficial however to add an independent dimming/color adjustment slider to the PIP window or full screen stream.
