A dead simple GTK app that controls brightness via a "slider" widget for my Dell laptop that has Intel graphics.
This project requires a few dependencies be install in order to compile it:
Meson - Build System
gtkmm - GTK GUI toolkit library.
- Git clone project
$ cd
into thesrc
directory$ meson setup builddir
$ cd
intobuilddir
$ meson compile
- Launch the app:
$ ./brightness_controller
You will need to run the binary as root
because it needs to write to the /sys/backlight/
file.
