[Feature] Add setting for brightness #6

Open M4rti21 opened 1 week ago

M4rti21 commented 1 week ago

Would it be possible for hyprsunset to have the ability to set a "fake" screen brightness? something like what wl-gammarelay does where it just "darkens" everything so people in desktop monitors can have software controlled brightness.

vaxerski commented 1 week ago

it's quite dumb of an idea all things considered...

M4rti21 commented 1 week ago

how else would one turn the brightness down on a desktop monitor (from software)?

vaxerski commented 1 week ago

most monitors should work just fine with stuff like light or brightnessctl...?

M4rti21 commented 1 week ago

i've got 3 and none of them support it :sob:

vaxerski commented 1 week ago

kinda L. in this case I guess last resort, but it still sucks

M4rti21 commented 1 week ago

yea :( that's why i'd like it for hyprsunset to support that, rn i am using wl-gammarelay for "fake brightness" and hyprsunset for red light, i'd like to use hyprsunset only

@vaxerski tbh I also have never seen external monitors that allow the os to set their brightness either.

@M4rti21 I'm not 100% sure this will solve your issue, but I also have a monitor that doesn't directly support utilities like brightnessctl. You might want to look into the Backlight ArchWiki article. You might be able to just write a script to run ddcutil at specified times throughout the day, unless I'm misunderstanding what you mean by "fake" brightness.
