Sofware such as Dimmer or DimScreen not working as I want.
I'm on Win11 24h2. I have chronic migraines and recently realized that lowering my monitor's brightness to zero wasn't working, and night light was just not enough (since using it on 100 is just too orange).
I like what Dimmer and DimScreen offer, but as in the images, pop-up's(?) like Windows' notification panel, taskbar, or left-click choices etc. stay bright (even if I open the app with admin rights.) It isn't as noticable, but in the enviroment I'm in, it's enough to give my eyes and head a flash of pain. I was wondering how I can fix this, or if there's an alternative I can use.
TLDR: How to fix these panels staying bright when using Dimmer or DimScreen?
