Had to revert back to 1.16.7 as I found 1.17.0 to be really unstable

[SeriousConcept1134]

Hey, just wanted to share my 2 cents...

After experimenting with 1.17.0 for a while I found that it was riddled with issues and I had to revert back to version 1.16.7 to get Twinkle Tray to work properly again.

I use the CLI interface on a regular basis inside a Python script for automatic brightness/contrast adjustments throughout the day.

This worked flawlessly with 1.16.7. But once I upgraded to 1.17.0 that's where the problems started.

It would often just not work, and the script debug log would be filled with entries like:

[2025-10-28 10:40:04] ERROR: Skipping monitor block, missing keys: ['MonitorID', 'Name', 'Brightness']
[2025-10-28 10:40:04] ERROR: No valid monitors detected from Twinkle Tray output

As TwinkleTray would just glitch out and become non-functional. Only restarting it would make it work again.

Even when trying to adjust the brightness/contrast manually (not via scripting and CLI), it would often times be showing inaccurate values for both my monitors, and/or slider adjustments would have no effect. Or adjustments would not stick, and just glitch to a different value after manual adjustment. Once more, only a restart of the app would resolve this.

Since downgrading back to 1.16.7 all of these problems disappeared. TwinkleTray works flawlessly again, both via CLI and manually.

Sorry I can't provide any more technical debug information, but this is just what I observed.

I'll just stick to 1.16.7 for now until the root cause of these issues can be fixed.

Thanks for making this great app!
