ubuntu-brightness-controller - v1.0.0

An Application Indicator allowing the user to change the brightness of the screen.

Working and tested with Unity on Ubuntu 16.04 LTS x64 with Nvidia proprietary drivers for GTX 960 4GB with only one monitor activated, but should work with any other desktop environments that support AppIndicators.

Feel free to notify me if you got it working in any other testing conditions

Features

Detects automatically all monitor screens connected, adjusting the brightness level on all of them
10 levels of brightness available (could be easily customized)
bash script (startBC.sh) so you can add this file to Startup Applications on Ubuntu

Run Instructions

Open a terminal and run the following command:

python brightness.py

Python 2.7.12 was used in development, if not working in another version please let me know.

Future Work

Add a makefile, allowing the user to install and uninstall easily
