I made an account specifically to review this. Seriously, thanks so much to the developer for this, because I've got a TERRIBLE windows 7 laptop from like 2012 in which my monitor (broken screen on the laptop itself) has suddenly decided I don't need access to its native brightness options. I was going crazy seeing my own eyes reflected in my glasses while I worked because of the brightness of the screen. THANK YOU.
