### brightnessctl polybar module
|
|
Polybar module using a custom script for adjusting screen brightness using the brightnessctl package.
|
|
|
|
The brightnessctl package is the only one that managed to change the brightness of my laptop screen. Other packages failed to work. Therefore, I wrote this script and module to be able to adjust screen brightness using brightnessctl from polybar. It is adjusted by scrolling up and down on the module.
|
|
|
|
### Installation
|
|
1. Download the files as a ZIP or clone into a temporary directory.
|
|
2. Move `brightnessctl.sh` to `~/.config/polybar/` file.
|
|
3. Make `brightnessctl.sh` executable by executing `chmod u+x ~/.config/polybar/brightnessctl.sh`.
|
|
4. Decide where you will put the module. Depending on your choice, add `brightnessctl` to the `modules-left=`,`modules-center=` or `modules-right=` row in your polybar config file.
|
|
5. Add the following lines to the `~/.config/polybar/config` file:
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
[module/brightnessctl]
|
|
type = custom/script
|
|
exec = ~/.config/polybar/brightnessctl.sh
|
|
|
|
scroll-up = exec brightnessctl set +5%
|
|
scroll-down = exec brightnessctl set 5%-
|
|
interval = 0.2
|
|
|
|
format-prefix = " "
|
|
label = %output%
|
|
label-foreground = #FFFFFF
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
### Note
|
|
- This module uses a custom icon from the `MaterialIcons` font package. If you do not have this you may install it, or choose your own gliph, simply replace the character that is assigned to `format-prefix`.
