Application to Adjust the Brightness of an On-Screen Display

Have you been frustrated with an on-screen display that appears too dark? This unique application will allow you to modify such parameters outside of their normal limits.

Simple and Easy to Manipulate

Brightness Widget serves one and only one purpose: to effectively and quickly adjust the light and dark aspects of your screen. Its controls can be configured in one of two ways. You could choose them to become a portion of the notification centre. They can also be displayed much like a common volume slider. Either way, the app will remain out of the way when not in use. Another potential benefit associated with Brightness Widget is that it can help to save battery life when the computer is not plugged in.

Compensating for Darkness as Well

Brightness Widget can also be used to darken the screen by up to 200 percent. This "blackout" mode can be useful when sleeping or if you are viewing sensitive information. The settings can be returned to normal by clicking the gear icon. Your computer will require only 1.7 megabytes of operating space.

  • Pros

    • You can also adjust darkness levels if desired.
    • The controls are able to be displayed in two different ways depending upon your preferences.
  • Cons

    • It is claimed that it does not compensate for the "auto brightness" feature.
    • It cannot work with certain screensavers.

In Softonic we scan all the files hosted on our platform to assess and avoid any potential harm for your device. Our team performs checks each time a new file is uploaded and periodically reviews files to confirm or update their status. This comprehensive process allows us to set a status for any downloadable file as follows:

Clean

It’s extremely likely that this software program is clean.

What does this mean?

We have scanned the file and URLs associated with this software program in more than 50 of the world's leading antivirus services; no possible threat has been detected.

Warning

This software program is potentially malicious or may contain unwanted bundled software.

Why is the software program still available?

Based on our scan system, we have determined that these flags are possibly false positives.

What is a false positive?

It means a benign program is wrongfully flagged as malicious due to an overly broad detection signature or algorithm used in an antivirus program.

We’d like to highlight that from time to time, we may miss a potentially malicious software program. To continue promising you a malware-free catalog of programs and apps, our team has integrated a Report Software feature in every catalog page that loops your feedback back to us.
