Brightness slider broken? #10

Closed orangemn6 closed 2 years ago

orangemn6 commented 4 years ago

when I use the brightness slider all the way up, it just goes back down to half, but i can move it down as much as I want. Please help me fix this!! Thank you

It is a bug in how the slider and the dirty calculation works for it, the brightness slider (the way i implemented it to work on my laptop) is essentially just a hack since my laptop has no proper back-light controls exposed :( unfortunately for some reason i cant tell it to stop at 99% as the bug happens when it reaches 100% (on my end)

i am however working on a major overhaul of the project so i will be testing some newer solutions to brightness

@HikariKnight thanks for saying!

@orangemn6 hey, this should be fixed now and if you want to backport the "fix" to material-awesome for awesome 4.3-stable then you can make the brightness slider call this script instead of xrandr directly.

Here is the script i use for the master branch https://github.com/HikariKnight/material-awesome/blob/master/utilities/laptop-brightness

you will have to edit this file for awesome4.3-stable https://github.com/HikariKnight/material-awesome/blob/awesome4.3-stable/widget/brightness/brightness-slider.lua
