Step-by-step instructions
- Start Twinkle Tray.
- Select a monitor by number or ID.
- Run a small negative offset such as --Offset=-10.
- Check the resulting brightness.
Why this matters
These preferences are applied within the running Windows application. A setting can look different depending on the current version and whether Windows 10 or Windows 11 is in use.
The --Offset argument increases or decreases brightness relative to the current setting. This procedure is relevant to twinkle tray --offset on Windows 10 or Windows 11. Avoid assuming that settings on one display will apply identically to another model.
How to verify the result
Close and reopen the settings panel or restart Twinkle Tray to confirm the change persists after the next session.
