Question

Only changes mode for primary display, can we get multiple-display support?

Firstly, amazing tool 🙏

I noticed this tool only changes the mode for the primary display and not all connected displays that support the modes. My desktop consists of (3) LG C1 OLED displays that can do HDR10 120hz GSYNC and I would like to be able to toggle them all together into HDR and out of HDR with a command via my stream deck using the command line arguments and through the UI via the task tray if possible.

Would it be possible to add a command line argument and possibly a check box on the right click menu to "apply to all connected displays" and it will just fail over if the display doesn't support the mode in question and move to the next one? I could also add this functionality myself if you don't mind me forking the project at some point.

I absolutely love this tool since Windows 10 does a horrible job with HDR and many apps don't display right with it enabled and many games look way better with it enabled so being able to toggle this on and off via my Streamdeck would be amazing for my setup and I'm not hopeful that Windows 11 is going to solve all the HDR issues honestly so this is going to be a tool that gets some serious mileage for me.

Thanks again for creating it and other than this one thing it works exactly as advertised and I couldn't be happier with how simple it is to use and that you added command line argument support which makes it infinitely more useful for macro setups and bootstrappers for games, etc to enable on the way in and disable on the way out.

Hi Jerry,

Do you mind sharing the script you created for your Stream Deck to toggle HDR? Like you, I'm running LG C1s for the desk and using this app to toggle HDR on the fly, but I can't get my Stream Deck button to work, I have to use one to launch this program and another to get it to toggle on/off.

Thanks~!
