[Feature Request] Equalizer-like adjustment of the brightness curve. #35

It would be really helpful if one could adjust the brightness curve more precisely for personal preference.

Great tool, thanks! Maybe this will be of help or inspiration for further development work. https://github.com/basnijholt/adaptive-lighting

My request from last week (https://github.com/jacob-pro/solar-screen-brightness/issues/34) is basically the offsetting part of this. Either you use a defined fixed transition duration and place its occurring relative to sunset/sunrise time or you build this placement and duration by additioning brightness_mode_time_light + brightness_mode_time_dark (shown at https://github.com/basnijholt/adaptive-lighting?tab=readme-ov-file#custom-brightness-ramps-using-brightness_mode-with-linear-and-tanh). I rather having to input a total duration time and relative placement than doing an addition of two transition segment times.

As for the curve shape, I don't see it as critical. I'm fine with linear.

What I think may be a nice-to-have, is to have a different transition (duration,offset) for sunset and sunrise. I really wish Adaptive lightning would have that as I use it myself, but for my screen brightness, I'm not sure.
