🖥️ Screen Brightness Control

A retro-styled desktop application for controlling brightness across multiple monitors with ease.

🎯 Motivation

Managing brightness on multiple monitors can be tedious - constantly switching between physical monitor buttons or diving into display settings. This tool was created to simplify that process by providing a centralized, intuitive interface to control the brightness of all connected displays from one place.

✨ Features

• 🎮 Retro 80's Cyberpunk UI - Eye-catching neon aesthetic with purple/cyan gradients
• 🖥️ Multi-Monitor Support - Control brightness for each connected display individually
• 🎚️ Real-time Adjustment - Smooth slider control from 1-100%
• ⚡ Instant Feedback - Live brightness percentage display
• 🎨 Modern PyQt5 Interface - Responsive and visually appealing design
