Command line arguments unintuitive #13

Closed charlie89 closed 1 year ago

Hi,

i find the command line arguments unintuitive. Took me some time to figure out the [NUM] argument is not a percentage but the display number (was just looking at -i/-d arguments) and that i have to add the -p argument to specify a percentage. Needed even more time to figure out that the [NUM] argument is actually optional and that all monitors are used when not specifying it.

Can you maybe add some examples for calling the program in the README or even the integrated help? Like i.e. -i -p 10 to increase brightness of all monitors by 10%, -d 1 -p 10 to decrease brighness by 10% for the first monitor, ...

Thanks.

PS: I just configured keyboard shortcuts for increasing/decreasing the brightness on both monitors and it works great.
