tg VS Monitorian

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.

Most modern displays support DDC/CI or whatever it is that lets your PC talk to the monitor and adjust brightness (and other settings).

Monitorian and other apps let you adjust those settings from your PC.

I feel like this is much simpler than many things called out so far, but I haven't found a great replacement coming from Windows for Monitorian. It's a small app that sits in your tray and lets you adjust your monitors' brightness levels. That way you don't have to press physical buttons on your monitors. It's also very nice to be able to lock multiple monitors' brightness levels together so you can change them at the same time.

I don't have a solution but Monitorian might tide you over. Works on external displays too

Monitorian is a nice alternative to the native brightness slider because it also works with external displays.
