v1.5.0.0

DDSS is a display setting utility aimed to help save laptop battery life on Windows by automatically changing the display settings of the primary display when plugging and unplugging the charger.

Features

  • By default, automatically lowers resolution, refresh rate, and brightness on the primary monitor when unplugging from power and increases resolution, refresh rate, and brightness on the primary monitor when plugging to power.
  • Allows for user to change AC and Battery display settings profiles in the 'config.ini' file.
  • Contains a system tray app that allows for manual display setting switching: Static Display Setting Switcher (SDSS).

Known Issues & Inconveniences

  • Incompatible on non-Windows systems.
  • Running ddss_v1.5.0.0.exe for the first time when on battery will configure the DDSS AC display settings profile to match the user's display settings on battery.
  • Changing config settings requires restarting the program for the changes to take effect.

Since Last Version (v1.0.0.0)

  • Added brightness switching for increased battery gains.
  • Added manual display setting switching functionality (SDSS).
