Note
NitTray is code-signed. However, because it is a new application and has not yet established a Microsoft SmartScreen reputation, Windows may display a "Windows protected your PC" message the first time you launch it. Select More info, then Run anyway.
The src/app/README.md explains NitTray's USB/HID communication, display detection process, and how to build the application from source.
