Pango Screen Dimmer | Tray Color | Visually Impaired

Hi, - note- I have no idea if these tools help in a multi-monitor configuration.

Volume2 is easy, presumably you've tried this.

Volumouse:

a. select Screen brightness from drop down (red)
b. select a key (orange)
c. Close the dialogue

d. place the mouse somewhere on the screen
e. press and hold the button (above)
f. scroll

You should see (if it works in your config - there's a note in the limited help on this) a visual slider indication showing % brightness. The slider moves up and down as you scroll.

This is an older prog so I guess it's possible it won't work in some situations.

According your settings, press and keep pressing the ALT key while scrolling. On mine, the slider appears as soon as I start scrolling. I suppose it may be possible something about your settings places it off screen.

Volume2: I note you failed to find this. Not difficult: here are some sites to help you.

Download Portable Volume2 1.1.5.404 / 1.1.6.411 Beta
Note the link to the installable version on the left.

Here's how to find such things - search tips for you:
I searched for
volume2 site:softpedia.com
another:
volume2 site:tucows.com

softpedia is a good download site that hosts many progs.

Searching with more specific words helps too:
volume2 volume control freeware
- my google list gives softpedia and tucows on the first page.

Again thanks for you help and guidance.

I did have a concern about the version, but could not identify one from the download file. But in my dismay I forgot to check the help file ID. Doh!

This is all so foreign to me I become confused and vexed rather easily.

Also, another excuse: the format of the setup screen is a bit difficult for me to read. I will have another go at this tomorrow night with the newer version.

Thanks again.
