Here’s a rich, product-style description of **ScreenLight**, suitable for a Chrome Web Store listing, marketing page, or documentation.

## πŸ’‘ **ScreenLight – Your Monitor, Reimagined as a Studio Light**

**ScreenLight** transforms any browser tab into a beautifully minimal light source β€” perfect for video calls, photography, or creating just the right ambient glow while you work. Whether you’re streaming, teaching, or simply trying to look your best on a Zoom call, ScreenLight gives you precise control over the color and brightness of your screen, turning pixels into pure illumination.

---

### ✨ **Purpose**

ScreenLight was designed for creators, presenters, and professionals who use their monitors as part of their environment. Instead of relying on bulky ring lights or harsh LEDs, ScreenLight lets you softly illuminate your space using the light you already have β€” your display.

It’s simple, instant, and distraction-free.

### 🧱 **Core Features**

#### 🎨 Color Control

Pick any hue using the built-in color picker. From daylight whites to warm ambers or cool blues β€” choose the tone that best matches your mood, camera, or environment.

#### πŸŒ— Adjustable Brightness

Fine-tune the brightness with a smooth slider, from a soft, cozy glow to a bright, camera-ready fill light. Keyboard shortcuts (`↑` / `↓`) give you quick control even while in fullscreen.

#### πŸ”† Preset Modes

* **Warm Light** – Soft amber glow for evening calls or cozy ambience.
* **Cool Light** – Clean, daylight-inspired tone for clarity and focus.
* **White Light** – Neutral brightness for balanced illumination.

#### πŸ–₯️ Fullscreen Mode

Hit **F** or click **Fullscreen** to turn your entire monitor into a light panel. No borders, no clutter β€” just light.

#### πŸ•ΉοΈ Auto-Hiding Controls

The minimalist toolbar disappears after a few seconds of inactivity, leaving you with a pure, uninterrupted light. Move your mouse to the top edge to bring it back.

#### πŸ” Persistent Settings

Your last-used color, brightness, and UI state are automatically saved via `chrome.storage.sync`. Open a new light tab, and it’s instantly ready with your preferred setup.
