Can you release the source code or port to macOS?

Hi Schumacher,

Can you please release the source code or at least email it so that I can learn how you send signals over USB and I can build it for macOS?

The reason is that I cannot control the LED Cinema Display in Settings due to a DisplayLink adapter being used at the HDMI port. However, when I connected only the USB to a Windows machine and used this utility, it worked.

I very much would like to use the "USB-only" way of changing brightness on Linux and macOS.

I would also be interested in the source to add some features and porting.

I would be also interested in a ported version OR source do do the porting.

Actually, I used a workaround: install Windows into some virtual machine and then assign the USB Device represents your monitor to the virtual machine. Then you can run the latest beta 1.5.7 in Windows to set the brightness. The setting will remain even if you shut down the Windows environment.

You can try decompile it using JetBrains DotPeek app, as Brightness Controller is written with c# and WPF(if I understand it correctly, I'm not really a C# developer), but it can be a big pain in the ass trying rebuild it and understand the code. But anyway good luck if you’re gonna try doing so.
