screendimmer's Issues

accidentally quitting

I am using manjaro xfce
I click the system tray icon with right click but most of times accidentally closing the application.

Can you add confirmation for quitting
Also swipe buttons Donate and Quit will be better for protecting accidentally closing as i do.

Mousewheel on icon to change brightness up/down?

I've been thinking about mousewheels on tray icons, and I thought it would be a good suggestion for screendimmer.

Command-line convenience arguments?

screendimmer works great as a tray menu for both internal and external screens, but other solutions like brillo don't manage that well.

Could it be possible to have the ability to use screendimmer from the command-line with arguments that get passed to the running process?

Maybe that's beyond the project scope, but I just thought it would be nice to have the same app do both, and maybe it would help keep the app stay in sync with the brightness status (because it hasn't been changed by another app).

Thanks again!

Contrast ratio

Is this feature supposed to work as a software dimmer or hardware dimmer? I just installed it from aur and all it does is reducing contrast with no impact on actual monitor brightness.

Refresh list of monitors menu entry?

I turned on my third monitor later, it's quite bright :)

kill screen dimmer

i like to have everything on a macro and when i use my normal sh script to kill screen dimmer the effect remains after the program is closed

#!/bin/bash
PID=`ps -eaf | grep screendimmer| grep -v grep| grep -v bash| awk '{print $2}'`
    if [[ "" !=  "$PID" ]]
    then
        echo "killing $PID" 
        kill $PID
    else
        echo "PID not found"

    fi

Fails to start when any screen is a clone of another

[Enhancement] Option to set brightness to 100% on exit/on turn off

I would love to have an option to set the brightness back at normal (100%) on application exit, so the next time we run screendimmer it doesn't change the brightness until we ask it explicitly.

I have it running automatically on my computer (Arch Linux), and the evening/night I set the brightness (from screendimmer tray icon) to 30%.
The problem is when I turn on my computer the morning, since I can barely see the screen.

In my case, normal brightness level (100%) reset at the app exit would be the easiest (instead of manually setting it to 100% during the night).

Thank you for considering this request for enhancement.

Info on control brightness in vm or vga out

Hi
I would like to know if your soft can also be able to control the output or the overall bright/dimm of a session ? Like if we run xrdp, can it be possible to have it dim ..

Also, while i did install your app over arch EndeavourOs , on a hp microserver Gen8 with a vga port, it don't do anything. not quite sure.. xrandr --current do give all rez possible .. but will try over a nuc later.

thanks

Slider?

Hello. I have been using https://github.com/Fushko/gammy but that's now depricated for https://github.com/Fushko/gummy which is just CLI.

I know it would be something other than a menu, so feel free to close if out of scope, but how about a slider for adjusting the brightness? Hidden behind a flag? Maybe on left click (as that does nothing when I try it)?
