[Enhancement] Option to set brightness to 100% on exit/on turn off #9

Closed T-3B closed 9 months ago

T-3B commented 1 year ago

I would love to have an option to set the brightness back at normal (100%) on application exit, so the next time we run screendimmer it doesn't change the brightness until we ask it explicitly.

I have it running automatically on my computer (Arch Linux), and the evening/night I set the brightness (from screendimmer tray icon) to 30%. The problem is when I turn on my computer the morning, since I can barely see the screen.

In my case, normal brightness level (100%) reset at the app exit would be the easiest (instead of manually setting it to 100% during the night).

Thank you for considering this request for enhancement.

An upcoming update will support this, and is implemented.

and the evening/night I set the brightness ... when I turn on my computer the morning, since I can barely see the screen.

This is a very valid corner case. Maybe I'll consider including time-based brightness adjustments in a future release. But the 100% brightness on exit is a great solution for this for now.

Thank you for the feedback.
