Brightness Slider Overview

What is Brightness Slider? Brightness Slider is an app that allows users to adjust their screen brightness from the menu bar, providing improved control over the dimming process. It offers custom hotkeys for lowering and raising brightness levels, and a start at login option. The app darkens the display by combining two separate methods, adjusting the real backlight intensity of the display and creating a semi-transparent black veil above everything else. The result is a smoother transition between low light and total darkness. However, there are displays where Brightness Slider cannot control backlight intensity, but it can still perceptually dim the screen by controlling the opacity of the semi-transparent veil. Users can contact the developer for any comments or suggestions.

Software Reviews and Criticism

  • By JasonWDC

    Not consistent across all monitors

    The first fifty percent of the slider dims the Microsoft display backlight (having no effect on external displays). Then, the lower fifty percent apply a “veil” of gray (by manipulating the color output). This works on all monitors. However , the native Microsoft display birghtness has already been turned all the way down, then further. So on the lower half, the Microsoft screen is darker than the other external monitors. And when turned all the way up, the paple display is exceedingly bright compared to the others. There should be the option to control each kind of dimming separately. With all the different types of monitors and setups, giving users more control to adapt to their situation is most appropriate. Kudos for trying to make a simple interface but it needs a little more thought on the settings configuration.

    Great Solution

    Due to GPU problem, brightness control is not working on my MBP. I got this app and it saved me. It works nice but only problem is when I switch windows or min/max windows, it flickers that is not good for eyes. If you can fix this flickering, it would be great.

    Perfect for those with a busted touch bar!

    My Touch Bar stopped working a while ago, and certain apps that I use turn the brightness down all the way (for VR applications, etc). When those apps crash, the brightness stays completely off, making it impossible for me to turn it back up. With this app you can set a custom shortcut to turn the brightness up or down, without using the Touch Bar. Saved my bacon!

    I miss Shades!

    I have 2 monitors - the primary is dimmed nicely with this app. The 2nd monitor it has no effect whatsoever. I was using Shades on Lion and it worked beautifully on both monitors. But given the shortage of such apps available, this works better than the alternative. (I see people saying it should work on 2 monitors - is there a trick to make that work?)? I don’t have brightness option on my Windows for some reason, so this is an essential app for me - glad to find something that does work. Wish it worked better.
