Maintainer activity

2 people did triage or write work on this repository in the last 12 months.

Counts unlabeled, assigned, unassigned, milestoned, demilestoned, locked, unlocked over the last 12 months. These are issue and pull request events that require triage or write permission. Commits and code review are not counted. labeled and renamed are excluded because GitHub issue forms record the issue author as the actor. Figures from October 11, 2026. This count is not comparable across projects: each project's automation decides which of these events a person emits.

How this project is maintained

Roughly one issue in two opened in the past year never receives a reply. 99% of open issues come from outside the core team, so the backlog reflects real-world use rather than internal planning. 72% of tracked open issues have had no activity in three months, so the open count overstates what is actively being worked. Only 16% of issues opened in the past year have been closed.

Detailed Description

Twinkle Tray is a Windows system tray application that enables brightness control for external monitors.

Windows lacks native support for adjusting external monitor brightness and provides no interface for managing multiple displays. Twinkle Tray solves this by placing brightness sliders in the system tray, accessible via a single click. The tool communicates with compatible monitors using DDC/CI protocol to adjust backlight levels. It also supports controlling other DDC/CI features such as contrast, and can normalize brightness across different monitors to ensure consistent levels.

The tool suits anyone running Windows 10 or 11 with multiple external displays who wants quick access to brightness adjustment without diving into monitor settings menus. It works best with DDC/CI-compatible monitors, though compatibility varies by manufacturer and model. The application integrates with Windows personalization settings, automatically matching your taskbar theme and appearance. Beyond basic brightness control, the tool offers scheduling features to automatically adjust brightness based on time of day or idle status, hotkey binding for quick adjustments, and automatic startup with Windows.

Development activity shows consistent maintenance with regular updates addressing user needs. The project maintains active translation support through community contributions. Package availability through multiple distribution channels indicates ongoing effort to reach users through their preferred installation methods. The codebase uses JavaScript with React for the interface and Electron for the desktop application framework, suggesting a focus on maintainability and cross-version Windows compatibility.
