[Idea/Question] Dual Screen Separate Brightness #53

Open FibroJedi opened 1 year ago

FibroJedi commented 1 year ago

Hey! I don't mean to make extra work...and if I understood applet code I could attempt it myself. But is there any way to make the brightness different on two screens?

Context: I have a primary monitor I do work and gaming on. The secondary monitor is used for web browser resources mostly and social media. They don't need to be the same brightness and that monitor's OSD is clunky and horrible to use!

I managed to change brightness while testing redshift in the command line, but stuck to the qRedshift applet because it handles the colours and transition between times better than I could. How hard is it to add an extra slider for another monitor or is there any way I could do it?

Thanks.

That possible, but a little tricky to do. Maybe i can do that some day.

Sure, I know it's voluntary etc so the maybe someday tag is totally understandable!
