less flick when dim and lock #21

Closed tmpm697 closed 5 years ago

I have screen at 80% to test this software feature. From 80% dims to .1causes screen go directly from 80% to .1 and it looks like a flick, sudden change doesn't look well on user experience.

I'm suggesting that instead go directly from X to .1, do a loop that change brightness from X->X-1->X-2->...->.1

and when user active, go from .1->2->..->X

Another issue: I use slock to lock after 10 seconds, each time xidlehook calls slock screen do a flash. I guess this dues to when calling slock, xidlehook brings back brightness at 80% then do lock screen. If we can turn off screen xset dpms force off then do lock screen, and then set brightness to 80% (in background), this would might avoid flick/flash for this issue.

Thanks.

Xidlehook does not have anything with rendering the screen to do, that is up to you and your timers. If you want to write a bash script to fade the screen differently than the one in the README, feel free, nothing is stopping you!
