Compatibility

Twinkle Tray uses DDC/CI and WMI to communicate with your monitors. Most monitors offer DDC/CI compatibility, but it may be off by default. Make sure you have the appropriate option(s) enabled on your monitor so that it can work with Twinkle Tray. Refer to your monitor's user manual for more information.

Known issues:

The AMD Radeon Control Panel can interfere with Twinkle Tray. Ensure "Custom Colors" is not enabled.

VGA may not be compatible.

USB/Thunderbolt/Surface docks with HDMI or DisplayPort may not be compatible.

DDC/CI features such as brightness control and power state may cause certain models of monitors to behave poorly. This applies to any DDC/CI software, not just Twinkle Tray.

If some of your monitors are not being detected, please see this page for troubleshooting steps.

Command Line Arguments

Twinkle Tray (v1.13.0+) supports requesting brightness changes from the command line. Twinkle Tray must already be running. One monitor argument and one brightness argument are required. Multiple arguments will override each other.

For example: "%LocalAppData%\Programs\twinkle-tray\Twinkle Tray.exe" --MonitorNum=1 --Offset=-30 will adjust monitor number 1 by -30 brightness.

Supported args:

-List List all displays. (available in v1.14.0+)

-MonitorNum Select monitor by number. Starts at 1. Example: -MonitorNum=2

-MonitorID Select monitor by internal ID. Partial or whole matches accepted. Example: -MonitorID="UID2353"

-All Flag to select all monitors.

-Set Set brightness percentage. Example: -Set=95

-Offset Adjust brightness percentage. Example: -Offset=-20

-VCP Send a specific DDC/CI VCP code and value instead of brightness. The first part is the VCP code (decimal or hexadecimal), and the second is the value. Example: -VCP="0xD6:5" (available in v1.14.4+)

-Overlay Flag to show new brightness levels in the overlay Example: -Overlay

This feature is not available on the Windows Store version of Twinkle Tray.

Development

For Mac and Windows only. Linux platform is not tested yet.

If you want to learn, develop, modify, or build your customized PicGo, please follow these instructions:

If you want to learn about the development of the Electron-vue, you can check out the our tutorial series -- Practice of Electron-vue development (opens new window).

You need to have a node, git environment. Knowledge of npm is required.

git clone https://github.com/Molunerfinn/PicGo.git and cd PicGo.

npm install the dependencies.

Need Xcode (MacOS) or VS (Windows).

If you need to contribute code, you can refer to Contribution Guidelines(opens new window)

Devement mode

Use command npm run dev to enter the development mode. Development mode has the hot overload feature. Note that the development pattern is unstable and there can be process crashes. In this case, you should:

ctrl+c # exit development mode
npm run dev # re-enter the development mode

Production mode

If you want to build your customized PicGo, use command npm run build. Once your build is successful, some corresponding files will appear in the build directory.

Note: If your network environment is poor, you may have the electron-builder failure when downloading the electron binary. If it really happens, you are recommended to specify the source to domestic before npm run build.

export ELECTRON_MIRROR="https://npm.taobao.org/mirrors/electron/"
npm run build

You do not need to do it again if you have done it at the first time. The binary files will exist in the ~/.electron/ directory. If you want to rebuild the electron, just rm -r ~/.electron/ and follow the steps above to make electron-builder install new electron binary files.
