🌸 NAME 🌸

brightnesspicker — a graphical interface to set the brightness of the screens 💖

🦋 SYNOPSIS 🦋

brightnesspicker

✨ DESCRIPTION ✨

okay so bestie, the second you start this thing up, you get a window with a slider for every single screen you've got, and you just drag them to change the brightness. that's it. that's the whole vibe. 💅

there's also a tray icon chilling there, and you can click it to bring all the selectors back up whenever you want. iconic behaviour, honestly.

and why does this even exist? because desktop computers can't easily adjust brightness the way laptops do 😭 and ngl, reaching for the physical button on the screen itself to change settings is so annoying. not it. so this app said "fine, i'll do it myself." 👑

oh and if you plug in a new screen? drag the list downwards to refresh it. that's the trick. fr fr. 🔄

💀 Known issues 💀

it does NOT support wayland. only Xorg. that's the whole note. i'm sorry bestie, that's just how it is. 🫶

and that's a wrap, my love 💖 this is the Screen brightness picker (that's the source/version tag bestie), dated Jul 25, 2025 — so go forth, drag those sliders, refresh that screen list, and glow responsibly. mwah. 🎀✨🌈
