TrayAppWPF Projects¶
The Windows 11 tray programs are terrible. I've whipped up some reimplementations of them, as there weren't any decent options available.
Its on my TODO list to consolidate the common code for these projects to its own repository, since most of the WPF drawing and Windows interop are large and annoying enough to require a high level of work.
BrightnessTrayAppWPF¶
Still a work in progress. I'm nailing down the UX before touching backend. The backend will be very easy, but I want the UX to be comparable or to exceed Twinkle Tray since the goal is to replace that. This program surpasses Twinkle Tray in reliability (TT's backend is not good), and uses about a quarter the amount of memory: https://github.com/alchemyyy/BrightnessTrayAppWpf
The math behind getting this eclipse effect to visually "track" well is pretty interesting.
BatteryTrayAppWPF¶
This isn't published yet as I don't have it operating reliably, or work on it that often. It uses LibreHardwareMonitor to receive battery data, and the same glyph rendering scheme as NetworkTrayAppWpf.
