ddccontrol VS tg

Why do they not allow doing the same for external monitors using DDC? There are several apps that do just that.

Try ddccontrol on Linux or https://www.nirsoft.net/utils/control_my_monitor.html on Windows.

ddccontrol and gddcontrol works well

If I were you, I would take a look at ddccontrol. It's a utility that allows you to query the state and send commands to your monitor via the command line. I currently use it to increase / decrease the brightness of my monitor depending on the time of day.

i have always hated having to fiddle with the buttons on the back of my monitor to change things such as the brightness but now i have finally found a better way https://github.com/ddccontrol/ddccontrol

Before I look into automating it, I wanted to get it working first. For this, I have a tool called ddccontrol (https://github.com/ddccontrol/ddccontrol). But this needs root privileges. So I'm just wondering if there are other ways, since I couldn't find any.

Their Desktop app is written in Qt C++[1].

This one is made with Qt: https://github.com/telegramdesktop/tdesktop I remembered this one.

But having checked clients for other platforms they are not made with Qt. You can check them all here: https://telegram.org/apps

p.s. i am also considering using c++, to try writing an extension of the source that implements the feature in a certain way, could you advise on how complex would this been?

In secret chat, you can't take any screenshot which can't be happened if it's implemented on Desktop app. That's the reason Telegram hasn't implemented the feature on its desktop versions. But that notification thing should be considered I guess… Someone should open an issue regrading it on it's GitHub repo.
