Free software to adjust the brightness of a computer screen

Desktop Lighter is a software package that enables users to easily manipulate the brightness of their computer screen. This can be advantageous during low-light situations or when an extremely bright screen may disturb others. It is also a great idea when reading large blocks of text, as the eyes may otherwise become fatigued. This program is free to download.

Basic Functions and Accessories

One of the main benefits of Desktop Lighter is that it is no longer necessary to access the control panel in order to manually adjust the brightness of a screen. An icon will be found within the toolbar at the bottom of the page. Clicking upon this image will open up a window that displays a slider bar. The user will simply move the bar to the left or the right in order to adjust the brightness of the monitor.

Other Applications

Desktop Lighter provides two additional options. It is possible preset this program to work in conjunction with a hotkey. The other possibility is to enlarge the entire window so that it is easier to read. It is assumed that this was created for those who are visually impaired. This bundle is freeware, so there is no charge for it to be downloaded and installed.

    I live in Pretoria, South Africa, where I currently own and manage a digital marketing and design agency with my husband and business partner. I've been working in marketing in one form or another for the past 12 years. I initially worked in IT and project management, handling technical projects throughout SADC. From there, I moved on to work for an IBM subsidiary, handling all partners and marketing events throughout Africa. I was eventually head hunted to work for a local company to head up their marketing department, including all digital, social, print, and events marketing. Despite my full-time employment, I would also participate in several writing projects in my own time, including editing and proofreading novels, writing shorts, poetry, and ebooks, and studying other marketing-related activities, such as Google Ads and tools. Eventually my partner and I started our marketing agency, where we currently support several local and international clients, providing copywriting services, social media management, web design and hosting, and related services. Many of my skills are self-taught or learned through online studies, including design and advertising. The written word has always been a passion. I'm an avid reader of Saul, King, Dan Brown, Pratchett, and Koontz. I also enjoy ancient histories, fables, and mythologies, and WWII documentories.

      I downloaded and installed this software tool because of my niece who's having trouble to adjust the brightness of her laptop as she was not highly knowledgeable when it comes to technology so I get this software for her to easily adjust the brightness of the screen without any difficulty.

      For a visually impaired who's work is highly inclined in computer like me, this is a very vital software and real catch for us because Desktop Lighter program tool provides a option for us visually impaired people to enlarge the entire window so that we could easily read and view our works.

      I really recommend everyone to have this program tool because I'm sure it will really bring more convenience to your computer experience just like how it did to mine. If you have this software, you only need to click the icon of this software for you to change the brightness or window screen settings to the one you prefer.
