Le Dimmer

Le Dimmer is a lightweight application which provides you with a simple means of dimming most of your screen, apart from the active window thus letting you focus better.

The upper hand of a portable app

The installation process is not a prerequisite, as the utility is portable. This also means that the Windows registry and Start menu/screen are not going to suffer any changes, and no remains will be left behind on the drive, after its removal.
It is also important to mention that by placing the program files to an external data device, you make it possible to run Le Dimmer on any computer you have been granted access to.

Dim the brightness and change settings

The interface can only be described as minimal and non-obtrusive, as it goes in the system tray from the first launch and it stays there. Aside from dimming the luminosity of the screen in order to help you concentrate on the task at hand, you can add command line parameters.
In addition to that, you should know that by right-clicking on the systray icon, you can bring up a window with all the parameters available.

Good performance

CPU and memory usage is kept at a low level at all times which means that it is not going to burden the computer’s performance, and you can run it alongside other tools without experiencing any kind of issues.

Bottom line

To conclude, with a user-friendly interface, with a good response time and a minimal usage of resources, Le Dimmer proves to be a pretty handy piece of software. We did not detect any errors, crashes or hangs during our tests, yet you should know it lacks some options that other similar products encompass.
