This is a demo showing one of possible implementations. The display is brighter compared to Vivid.\n\n\u003e The main idea behind this project is to provide an open source and free-to-use alternative to existing apps that offer similar functionality for a price of up to \u0026euro;20. I believe that everyone should have access to powerful tools that enhance their display experience, regardless of their budget.\n\n## About \nThe app uses MetalKit to overlay the CIImage with a transparent color in EDR color space over the display windows while applying color blending filter.\n\n## Preview \n\u003e Screen captured on maximum system brightness with __Apple XDR (P3-1600 nits)__ display preset.\n\n| [Window](../../tree/swiftui-window) | Split View |\n| ------------ | ------------ |\n|\u003cimg src=\"https://user-images.githubusercontent.com/21260939/228393300-34f48989-ba81-45a0-9364-3b66252f6a36.jpg\" alt=\"Screenshot\" width=\"400\"\u003e|\u003cimg src=\"https://user-images.githubusercontent.com/21260939/229236909-6b904565-9dc3-48b5-ab00-96c7667c9301.jpg\" alt=\"Screenshot2\" width=\"590\"\u003e|\n\n## Requirements\nSupported devices: Apple MacBook Pro with 14 or 16 inches and Apple Pro Display XDR.\n\n## Limitations\n- __Mission Control \u0026 Spaces__\n  - HDR brightness disabled during switching between Spaces.\n  - White screen can appear on desktop or Spaces previews (thumbnails).\n  - White screen can appear while video playback.\n\n## Literature\n\nIf you're interested in learning more about the technologies used in this app, check out these articles and videos:\n- [Generating an Animation with a Core Image Render Destination](https://developer.apple.com/documentation/coreimage/generating_an_animation_with_a_core_image_render_destination)\n- [WWDC 2022 Session 10114: Display EDR content with Core Image, Metal, and SwiftUI](https://developer.apple.com/videos/play/wwdc2022/10114/)\n- [WWDC 2022 Session 10113: Explore EDR on iOS](https://developer.apple.com/videos/play/wwdc2022/10113/)\n- [Funky Overlay Window: Floating NSWindow using Obj-C](https://developer.apple.com/library/archive/samplecode/FunkyOverlayWindow/Introduction/Intro.html)\n\n## Alternatives\n\nIf you're looking for alternative applications that provide similar functionality, you might want to check out:\n- [Vivid](https://www.getvivid.app/)\n- [Lunar](https://github.com/alin23/Lunar)\n- [BetterDisplay](https://github.com/waydabber/BetterDisplay)\n- [TotalXDR](https://junebytes.com/totalxdr)\n","project_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/api/v1/projects/github.com%2Fstarkdmi%2Fbrightxdr","html_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/projects/github.com%2Fstarkdmi%2Fbrightxdr","lists_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/api/v1/projects/github.com%2Fstarkdmi%2Fbrightxdr/lists"}
