DemShade: ambient monitor lighting
Turn your spare monitor into ambient game lighting
DemShade turns any secondary monitor into an ambient display while you play fullscreen. Instead of a dead black screen, get 6 custom GLSL shaders that react to your game audio in real time. Control each monitor separately, save your favorite profiles, and schedule when it turns on. No overlay, no performance hit on your main game — just atmosphere for your setup.
Hey everyone! I built DemShade after years of staring at a dead black second monitor every time I went fullscreen in a game. I wanted that monitor to actually add something to the vibe — so I built 6 custom GLSL shaders that react to your game's audio in real time, plus per-monitor control, saved profiles, and scheduling.
This started as a solo passion project and I've put a lot of care into getting the shaders and audio-reactivity feeling right. Would love your feedback, and happy to answer any questions about the shaders or how it works under the hood!
