Vignet

One more setting for the night setup

Let the game fill your focus, not the whole room.

Vignet blends the outer edge of your display into a dark room while keeping the centre clear. Tune it once, toggle it instantly, and make long sessions feel less visually loud.

The useful centre stays clear. The outside stops glowing at the room.

Common questions

Does it work with f.lux?

Yes. Keep f.lux for its automatic colour-temperature changes and use Vignet as a dedicated edge-dimming layer. f.lux also has an experimental vignette effect; Vignet is for people who want that idea as a simple standalone utility.

Does it work with multiple monitors?

The current Windows version applies Vignet to the primary display. Multi-monitor controls are planned, but are not in this release.

Will it affect games or frame rate?

Vignet is a separate click-through overlay and does not inject into the game. Exact behaviour can vary between fullscreen modes, so use the Ctrl + Alt + V hotkey whenever you want it out of the way.

Does it show up in screenshots or video calls?

Capture behaviour can vary by application. Toggle Vignet off with Ctrl + Alt + V before a capture when the result matters.

Which systems?

The current release is for Windows 10 and 11.

External display or TV?

It follows the primary Windows display. It cannot affect a console or streaming device connected directly to a TV.
