Twinkle TrayStep-by-step instructions
- Open time adjustment settings.
- Choose start and end times suited to your workday.
- Select target displays and brightness levels.
- Test the schedule across a time boundary.
Why this matters
For external screens, brightness changes depend on DDC/CI. An on-screen slider cannot override a monitor that blocks or does not implement the relevant protocol.
Twinkle Tray can adjust compatible monitors at scheduled times, such as lowering brightness at night. This procedure is relevant to twinkle tray schedule brightness on Windows 10 or Windows 11. Avoid assuming that settings on one display will apply identically to another model.
How to verify the result
Observe the actual display, not just the position of the on-screen slider. Record any mismatch between the requested level and the visible result.
