SlimHUD

SlimHUD

Replacement for MacOS' HUDs.

Every day you change your volume or brightness and an ugly and unbelievably old overlay animation appears. SlimHUD is what you need.

Each feature can be toggled from the settings window.
To access the settings window start SlimHUD again, while it's already running. The settings window will appear:

Here's are some of the things you can customise:

• When changing volume / brightness / keyboard's backlight a small icon is shown under the bar.

• If you don't like the flat look of the bar you can enable a shadow effect.

• There are multiple animation styles:

• Continuously check for changes (recommended if you use a TouchBar): shows the HUDs when using the volume / brightness slider.

• Each bar (volume / brightness / keyboard's backlight) has it's own color.
  You can also choose the color of the volume when its muted.

• Each icon (volume / brightness / keyboard's backlight) also has it's own color! ¹

• If you think that the default bar is too small you can easily adjust its size.

• The HUDs can appear on any edge: left, right, bottom or top; it's up to you!

• Lastly don't forget to enable the launch at login function!

¹:

Only available in MacOS 10.14 and later.
