Hi, thanks for maintaining MonitorControl.

I have been testing the app on macOS 26 and ran into a few compatibility issues, mainly around menu presentation and brightness feedback behavior.

In my local fork, I adapted a few areas to make the app behave better on macOS 26, including:

updated menu layout/presentation for macOS 26
a custom native-style brightness HUD fallback for macOS 26
improved menu slider interaction on macOS 26

I’m sharing this mainly as a compatibility note in case it is helpful to other users testing on macOS 26, and also in case any of the implementation ideas are useful upstream.

If helpful, I can summarize the changes in a more upstream-friendly way or split parts of them into smaller PR-friendly pieces.

Fork:

Thanks again for the project.

Hi @likaia - it's nice to have MonitorControl forks. But the versioning (v1.1.0) and naming may confuse some - if the app is meant to have a separate life and feature set, maybe it would be better call it something else than MonitorControl (MonitorCommander or MonitorControlExtra etc, anything you like, just to differentiate) - you can of course mention it is "based on MonitorControl" if you wish. But it's just a suggestion, not a requirement of course.
