Desktop Lighter is a small but useful utility that allows you to adjust the screen brightness. Well, as a matter of fact, the utility increases and decreases the contrast of the screen, not the brightness.
The program can be operated in two ways: by dragging the Desktop Lighter sliding bar with the mouse or by using the keyboard hotkeys (Ctrl+ arrows on keyboards that use the American layout). The program has various parameters that can be adjusted (still remaining easy to use, however): you can configure the utility to be automatically launched at Windows startup; you can activate/deactivate the system hotkeys and remember the last settings; also you can use a large fader. The Desktop Lighter sliding bar can be minimized and its properties can be adjusted from the system tray icon. OS supported: Windows XP, Server 2003, and Vista.
Pros
- The contrast adjustment is a feature that is not at hand on laptops. You can adjust the contrast with keyboard hotkeys or with the sliding bar
Cons
- The utility adjusts the contrast of the screen and not the brightness
Very useful and handy! Great job.
