About SlimHUD
SlimHUD changes the on-screen indicators shown when you adjust volume, display brightness, or keyboard backlighting. Its preferences control placement, colors, size, and animation.
The project provides a direct Mac download. Disable its launch-at-login setting and quit the app when you want the standard system indicators back.
