This repository contains files that can increase or decrease the screen brightness by an amount other than the default 5.
Prerequisites:
Install bc on your system.
Step 1:
Go to System Settings > Shortcuts
Step 2:
Click the "Add command" button in the bottom.
Step 3:
Add path of the decrease_brightness.sh file first and press "Add"
Step 4:
Go to the tab that says the decrease_brightness.sh path and modify the keyboard shortcut by pressing the "Add custom shortcut" and then the key(s) to lower the screen brightness. Agree that you want to replace the original keyboard shortcut for decreasing the brightness.
Step 5:
Repeat step 4 but for the increase_brightness.sh path.
Step 6:
Click the "Apply" button in the bottom-right corner.
Don't change the path to the files (changing username's home folder, moving the file or folder to another place) or else you would have to manually update the path to the decrease_brightness.sh and increase_brightness.sh files.
Want to change the brightness step for the files when you add this in the keyboard shortcuts? Just change the number in the increment.conf file to a positive number.
Prerequistities:
Install shc to compile shell to c code.
Step 1:
Run cd src in this directory.
Step 2:
Run shc -vrf increase_brightness.sh -o ../build/increase_brightness to compile the shell script.
Step 3:
Repeat step 2 but with decrease instead of increase.
