With Brightness Slider you can adjust screen brightness from the menu
bar, just like the sound menu provided by Apple, and with improved
control over the dimming process.

Using a keyboard with no brightness keys? Tired of low brightness
levels which are still too bright? Brightness Slider gives you total
control over your screens brightness settings, allowing in
particular for a really smooth transition between low light and total
darkness.

Features:
- Screen brightness level adjustment right from the menu bar
- Dimming control at low brightness levels
- Arrow key function with active Brightness Slider menu
- Custom hotkeys for lowering and raising brightness levels
- Start at login option available in the preferences

How Brightness Slider works:
Brightness Slider darkens your display by combining two separate
methods. Method A adjusts the real backlight intensity of your
display and method B creates a semi-transparent black veil above
everything else. Why the complexity? Well, when dimming a display,
the final jump down to no backlight at all is very large, especially
in a darkened room. To provide more control over the dimming process,
the top-half of the slider controls the backlight intensity from 1
down to 0.1 (method A). Then, the bottom-half controls the opacity of
the semi-transparent veil, whilst keeping the backlight at 0.1
(method B). When the slider is at zero, the backlight is turned off.
The result is that the final jump now has several intermediate steps,
which means the perceived brightness (the combined result of both
methods) is that much more adjustable.

One last thing:
There are displays where Brightness Slider cannot control backlight
intensity. However, it can still perceptually dim the screen by
controlling the opacity of the semi-transparent veil (which can be
created on any display).

Cest toujours les apps les plus bêtes et inutiles qui sont les meilleurs ^^ fait ce quon lui demande donc idéal même si on peut le faire du clavier =) on ce croirait sur notre iPhone… RAS Merci pour le gratuit qui permet de bénéficier lapps mais avrai dire je naurais jamais payer pour cela !!

magnifique avec un macbook et un écran externe !

le réglage de lécran externe ne peut pas se faire avec le clavier, mais BS résoud se probème et fort bien . Les réglages sont précis et sensible, la luminosité est parfaite . Dommage quil ne garde pas les réglages en mémoire mais je met AAA quand meme .

Not bad but ...

Good app but it would be great to manage dual screens :-)

Un must pour ceux utilisant des écrans externes non-Apple

Car les touches du clavier pour gérer la luminosité ne fonctionnent qu’avec le matériel d’Apple. Du coup plus besoin d’utiliser les contrôles des moniteurs.

Grosse limitation

Le curseur de la barre de menus nest pas très réactif. Le progression de la luminosité dans la barre verticale nest pas graduelle. Et de plus, cet utilitaire empèche de réaliser des copies décran partielles de fenêtres et impose de ne réaliser QUE des copies décran globales ! Ce nest pas un si bon utilitaire pour moi... ;-)

Pretty good and does the job

Pretty happy with that simple little software! Even supports: - Mission control - Full screen mode (which Shades doesn’t seem to support!) - Application windows overview It does not seem to work for Dashboard, strangely. Not a big deal. Also, when using two monitors, it adjust both at the same time but not in a very consistent way… Contrary to what surnom2014 write in his/her review, I am NOT noticing any interference with the partial screen grab native feature, which continues to work well for me (CMD-SHIFT-4 shortcut). I’m using OS X Mavericks.

Works perfectly

Thanks for having fixed the Brightness Slider icon when Yosemite’s theme is black :)
