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.

  • Pros

    • Desktop Lighter can be installed at absolutely no charge.
    • One-touch adjustments are ideal for those who may be on the go.
  • Cons

    • Very similar to existing options found within the control panel.
    • There is no application available for smartphone users.

User reviews about Desktop Lighter

by Maximilian Hugo

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.

When I downloaded this software tool, it brought many benefits and convenience to my computer browsing experience. With this Desktop Lighter, I can easily and instantly manipulate the brightness of my screen without having to dig in the control panel of my computer system because it can already be done in the tool bar section.

by Mia Riley

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.

by Victoria Franco

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.
