<li>Added option to show/hide brightness slider.</li>
|
||||
<li>

|
||||
displays (enabled by default).
|
||||
</li>
|
||||
<li>
|
||||
Replication of built-in and Apple display brightness to corresponding
|
||||
brightness slider.
|
||||
</li>
|
||||
<li>Added suffix to similarly named displays for better differentiation.</li>
|

<li>

Option to disable slider snapping for finer control + disable slider

snapping by default.

</li>
|

<li>Added option to show slider tick marks for better accuracy.</li>
|
||||
<li>
|
||||
Added option to use window focus instead of mouse to determine which display
|
||||
to control.
|
||||
</li>
|
||||
<li>
|
||||
<kbd>control</kbd> + <kbd>command</kbd> + <kbd>brightness</kbd> now controls
|
||||
external displays only (<kbd>control</kbd> + <kbd>Brightness</kbd> continues
|
||||
to control internal display only)
|
||||
</li>
|
||||
<li>Added separate tab for menu options.</li>
|
||||
<li>Added option to restore last saved values upon startup.</li>

</li>
|

<li>
|
||||
Added safer 'Assume last saved settings are valid' option as default instead
|
||||
of startup DDC read (or restore).
|
||||
</li>
|
||||
<li>
|
||||
Streamlined preference panes, 'Show advanced settings' now affect all tabs.
|
||||
This leads to a better and safer first timer experience (especially because
|
||||
of the influx of many new features).
|
||||
</li>
|
||||
<li>
|
||||
Added a Quit button to Preferences if menu is hidden (it was not passible to
|
||||
quit the application until this time in this mode only by re-enabling the
|
||||
menu).
|
||||
</li>
|
||||
<li>
|
||||
Lowered default first-run volume DDC default from 75% to 15% if read is not
|
||||
possible or disabled to prevent unexpectedly loud sound.
|
||||
</li>
|
||||
<li>
|
||||
Added slider skew setting on a per control basis to have the ability to
|
||||
manipulate DDC slider balance and OSD scale if display control is not
|
||||
linear.
|
||||
</li>
|
||||
<li>
|
||||

|
||||
control basis.
|
||||
</li>
|
||||
<li>
|
||||
Audio device name override option for a display (manually assign a specific
|
||||
audio device to a display).
|
||||
</li>
|
||||
<li>
|
||||
Advanced setting to invert DDC control range (some displays have the scale
|
||||
reversed).
|
||||
</li>
|
||||
<li>
|
||||
Advanced setting to remap DDC control code (some displays have contrast and
|
||||
brightness mixed up).
|
||||
</li>
|
||||
<li>
|
||||
Ability to mark a DDC control as available or unavailable in advanced
|
||||
settings under Displays.
|
||||
</li>
|
||||
<li>
|
||||
Ability to automatically hide menu icon if there is no slider present in the
|
||||
menu.
|
||||
</li>
|
||||
<li>Option to show slider percentage for more precision.</li>
|
||||
<li>
|
||||
Option to set combined or separate OSD scale when combined hardware+software
|
||||
brightness is used.
|
||||
</li>
|
||||
<li>
|
||||
Apple like smooth brightness change (both for software, hardware, mixed and
|
||||
DisplayServices).
|
||||
</li>
|
||||
<li>
|
||||
Added support for DisplayLink, AirPlay, Sidecar, screen sharing etc. using
|
||||
window shades (this is an inferior technique to the existing software
|
||||
implementation - gamma control - but still better than nothing). Disabled
|
||||
for any kind of mirroring setups. [^1]
|
||||
</li>
|
||||
<li>
|
||||
Brightness change synchronisation from Built-In and Apple displays to other
|
||||
displays. This makes Touch Bar, Ambient light sensor, Control Center and
|
||||
System Preferences induced changes affect all displays. Synchronisation uses
|
||||
a sophisticated indirect delta method + the user can intervene and adjust
|
||||
individual screen brightness at any time to easily compensate mismatching
|
||||
native brightness levels.
|
||||
</li>
|
||||
<li>Preferences pane tab selector has a simpler look on Catalina.</li>
|
||||
<li>
|
||||
All menu sliders are now scrollable using a magic mouse/trackpad swipes or
|
||||
mouse wheel.
|
||||
</li>
|
||||
<li>
|
||||
Added option for menu to show only items that are relevant to display which
|
||||
shows the menu currently.
|
||||
</li>
|
||||
<li>
|
||||
Added option to enable combined sliders (note: this option combined with
|
||||
enabled Apple/built-in display syncing and enabled 'change all' keyboard
|
||||
settings finally provides full synchronised control of all displays).
|
||||
</li>
|
||||
<li>
|
||||
Combined sliders can now display multiple displays when keyboard and
|
||||
brightness syncing is not enabled. [^1]
|
||||
</li>
|
||||
<li>
|
||||
Redesigned sliders to look like Big Sur/Monterey Control Center's sliders.
|
||||
[^1]
|
||||
</li>
|
||||
<li>Quit and Preferences... are now icons for a much cleaner look. [^1]</li>
|
||||
<li>
|
||||
Added option to change additional menu options style or hide them. [^1]
|
||||
</li>
|
||||
<li>
|
||||
Multiple displays are now in nice Big Sur styled blocks - no more ugly
|
||||
separators. [^1]
|
||||
</li>
|
||||
<li>
|
||||
Added customisable gamma/ddc switchover point for combined brightness in the
|
||||
advanced section of Displays.
|
||||
</li>
|
||||
<li>
|
||||
Added comma separated list for control code override to enable edge cases
|
||||
like controlling Brightness and Contrast at the same time (use VCP list
|
||||
entry `10, 12` for that)
|
||||
</li>
|
||||
<li>
|
||||
Contrast can now be controlled from keyboard via <kbd>control</kbd> +
|
||||
<kbd>option</kbd> + <kbd>command</kbd> + <kbd>brightness up/down</kbd>.
|
||||
</li>
|
||||
<li>Custom keyboard shortcuts for brightness, contrast, volume and mute</li>
|
||||
</ul>
|
||||
|
||||
<h3>Other under the hood changes and bug fixes</h3>
|
||||
|
||||
<ul>
|
||||
<li>
|
||||
Standardised internal scale among various displays and DDC ranges for ranged
|
||||
controls.
|
||||
</li>
|
||||
<li>
|
||||
Uses the new internal scale for combined hardware-software brightness mode.
|
||||
</li>
|
||||
<li>
|
||||
Migrated scales to internal float representation to prevent loss of fine
|
||||
detail on transformations.
|
||||
</li>
|
||||
<li>
|
||||
Fixed double sound when muting multiple external displays at the same time.
|
||||
</li>
|
||||
<li>
|
||||
Fixed lack of initial volume configuration if slider is not shown in menu.
|
||||
</li>
|
||||
<li>
|
||||
Fixed wrong settings being applied to a display when replaced on Apple
|
||||
Silicon (UserDefaults preferences are now tied to specific display strings
|
||||
instead of CGDirectDisplayID - which is no longer semi-unique on arm64).
|
||||
</li>
|
||||
<li>A lot of refactoring, streamlining and general optimisations.</li>
|
||||
</ul>
