New in ClickMonitorDDC 7.0 (Jul 15, 2019)

  • Now clicking icons with middle mouse-button toggles two values, enter values in mouse-settings, e.g. brightness 0 and 50,
  • then middle-clicking a brightness-icon sets brightness 0, again middle-clicking sets 50, again middle-clicking 0 and so on.
  • Using mousewheel with defined modifiers did not execute assigned commandline. Fixed.

New in ClickMonitorDDC 6.3 (Mar 5, 2019)

  • No timer commands or dimming during fullscreen-auto-run-commands.

New in ClickMonitorDDC 6.2 (Feb 28, 2019)

  • There was a timing problem with very few monitors, which wrongly report 0x6B,
  • This could prevent ClickMonitorDDC from detecting these monitors. Fixed.

New in ClickMonitorDDC 6.1 (Feb 25, 2019)

  • Now also WUP-Apps (these new Win8/10 apps like Windows Edge) can be used for Auto-Run,
  • that means if running maximized, a command-line is executed, but WUP-Apps cannot be selected by file-requester,
  • so you have to run the app, if the app is visible, then the app is listed and can be selected for auto-run.
  • Setting brightness in monitor is normally done by code 0x10, but a few monitors use code 0x6B, now you can choose code.
  • New argument # starts comment, so after # all commands are ignored, this way you can keep your command-line for future usage.
  • New argument ! starts any program e.g. ! notepad.exe

New in ClickMonitorDDC 6.0 (Feb 18, 2019)

  • You can set NVIDIA Digital Vibrance and AMD Saturation by using mouse wheel over notification icon or use new argument k
  • You can have in your computer a NVIDIA and a AMD graphics card, both with monitors attached,
  • each monitor has its own independent saturation-value/icon.
  • Graphics driver sends less (0-49) or more (51-100) saturated colors to monitor,
  • a higher value (51-100) can enhance videos and games, for normal text-work use default 50
  • ClickMonitorDDC shows Saturation/Vibrance always in range 0 - 100, that means AMD Saturation range 0 to 200
  • is recalculated to 0 - 100 by respecting min max levels. k 50 would result in set Saturation 100 for AMD.
  • Now you can select programs like browser, video-players or games and define an individual command-line,
  • this way you can automatically apply different brightness/contrast/saturation-values for each selected program.

New in ClickMonitorDDC 5.9 (Jan 17, 2019)

  • Some unusual multi-monitor-setup could result in additional useless orphaned notification icons, which disappeared only on mouse over. Fixed.

  • Improved settings of notification icons. There is also a new notification icon for a possible monitor speaker.
  • Turning on/off a monitor connected by DisplayPort could open window and leave icons behind. Fixed.
