Vignettiny screen utility
For a dark room and one bright rectangle
Let the screen end before the room begins.
When the room goes dark, a flat monitor can dominate everything around it. Vignet keeps the useful centre clear and lets the outer light fade into the room.

Common questions
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.
Do I need an account?
No. Download, install, use. No login, no licence server, no profile.
