How to use the gray screen
- Press “Fullscreen” or the F key.
- Use ↑ ↓ to adjust brightness and ← → to switch color.
- Exit with Esc or a double click.
What it's useful for
- A mid gray makes uneven brightness, dark corners and the 'dirty screen effect' much easier to notice.
- Cleaning your display: dust and fingerprints are easier to see on a solid color.
- A quick visual check for dead or stuck pixels.
- A simple light or background for photos, video and ambience.
Compatibility
Works in modern browsers on Windows, macOS, Linux, Android and iOS. Some phones, especially iPhone, limit true fullscreen in the browser; the color still covers the page.
