Yeah, that 5 megs of RAM Powerstrip is using really takes a big bite out of my system
resources!  :-)

I've been looking for a certain utility for some time... but does it
exist at all? What I need is a small Win9x program that would sit in
the sys tray, and would only do one thing - allow for quick
gamma/brightness settings, and, ideally, also for video overlay
settings. Sure, the Nvidia tray icon can be enabled, but it's not a
very good solution, since it only brings up screen properties, so
entering gamma/overlay settings takes five more clicks, which can be a
pain in the, uh, AGP slot if you have to adjust this every few minutes
(for different video clips) - I'd like something that would be able to
switch to *those* settings immediately, or change them on its own.
Just a little tool to do only that, or not much more - not a multi
combine that eats resources and reset screen positions, like
Powerstrip does :)
