Download Twinkle Tray Version 1.17.0: Latest Features and Updates

Twinkle Tray is a user-friendly application that simplifies the management of brightness levels across multiple monitors. While Windows has the capability to adjust brightness for many screens, it often falls short when it comes to external monitors. Additionally, Windows 10 and 11 lack features to control brightness on multiple displays. Twinkle Tray addresses this gap by adding an icon to your system tray, providing quick access to brightness adjustments for all compatible monitors.
