In some hardware the 5% as minimum value of backlight can be too brightness. Advanced options has been added to select this minimum value:

IMHO, the code needs to take care of the minimum value automatically. The new GUI seems too confusing to me.

Do other DEs do this?

No. Other DEs doesn't set a minimum value for the backlight. For example, I have downloaded the code of XFCE and I have checked the minimum value for the backlight and it is set to 0. I have found that other DEs let set the number of steps of backlight and the change of the backlight is usually done by keyboard. LXQt should add those shortcuts to lxqt-panel brightness plugin. Then lxqt-config-brightness should let you set the number of steps of backlight, the gamma (for desktop computers) and backlight. I think that an option for launch and config gammastep should be added also.

Thanks for your hard work.

LXQt should add those shortcuts to lxqt-panel brightness plugin.

Good idea.
