Windows port

Open 70V07 opened this issue 1 year ago • 3 comments

is possible to have ddcutil and ddcui for Windows 10/11 ?

I found only the port of the executable: https://github.com/scottaxcell/winddcutil

It is conceivable that ddcutil could be ported to run under WSL, but that would be a major project. The lower layers of ddcutil code responsible for I2C communication would have to ripped out and replaced by Windows services, and offhand it's unclear how much functionality would be retained.

winddcutil was inspired by ddcutil, but otherwise has no connection to ddcutil.

I see... but still hope that one day anyone can have a program like this in Windows, most of the menus provided by companies are terrible, noting technical (everything is always summarized in 2-3 buttons instead of a bar and/or with the values) and this makes a perfect calibration difficult or impossible

I have an AOC 27G2SAE that despite being a VA panel is really good if well set, but the I-Menu provided by AOC only has technical contrast and brightness, all the other settings are fake, such as the color temperature that instead of the xxxxK values ​​has 4 buttons like TVs: warm/standard/cold/... same for any other settings, no gamma, no gain, nothing, everything summarized in buttons with commercial names (which obviously cannot allow fine-tuninging)

actually I fix a bit the fine-tuning using the AMD software, but is not the same of the settings in the hardware OBV

this world of companies is frustrating and depressing, they take over all the projects and ruin everything I hope havent bored or annoying you with this complaint of mine

these days I was even thinking of switching to Linux completely just to use that GUI
