Vignet

A small Windows utility

Take the hard edges off your screen.

You already use dark mode, Night Light or f.lux. Vignet is the next small tweak: a gentle fade around the display, with the useful centre left clear.

Choose a starting point, then hold the compare button. The centre stays clear; Vignet simply takes some of the visual volume out of the edges.

Common questions

Does it work with f.lux?

Yes. Keep f.lux for its automatic colour-temperature changes and use Vignet as a dedicated edge-dimming layer. f.lux also has an experimental vignette effect; Vignet is for people who want that idea as a simple standalone utility.

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.
