Why?

I wanted a less bloated, keyboard oriented alternative to Twinkle Tray.

Usage

Installation

1. Install python from the official website
2. Download the .zip release and extract it somewhere safe.

Running on Login

You can run the process on login by creating a shortcut of popdisplay_daemon.exe and moving it to Win + R -> 'shell:startup'.

Configuring

Copy config.example.json to config.json. Replace WINDOWS_MONITOR_ID with the ID of the monitor shown in the Windows Settings (-1!) you want to change properties for. You can even have multiple monitors adjusted in one config entry by e. g. declaring "monitors"->"0" and "monitors"->"1" respectively.

Running

Finally, run popdisplay_daemon.exe which by default opens the GUI on Shift+Alt+D. Right now, the only way to modify this is by recompiling the .ahk file.
