With that being said, I am happy for people to contribute code changes, if anyone wants to fork the code they must include links to both this repo and the website as the original source. We are aiming for a GPLv3 at this stage however, we will need to determine if any of the code included is able to be licenced as such.įor the time being, this project is deemed to be "private code" and is not available for sharing, redistribution, or inclusion in other works. If an option is not part of the core functionality, then it should be made available via either an preference item accessible by command line or an "advanced/hidden" preference panel.Īt this stage a licencing review is still pending.
My experience was that $2.99 was worth a better brightness control that doesn't jump.Īnyway, I returned the OLED screen laptop and I went for one with LCD, now the keyboard keys adjust the brightness but I miss the vibrancy and sharpness of OLED.NOTE: This software is now abandonware, NO further updates or binaries will be supplied on this repository No responses will be provided on any issues raised, this repo is purely for anyone interested in the code InsomniaX I'm not sure if this forum allows promoting paid apps, if so, please let me know. The problem: When you switched between desktop, for a moment, the brightness goes up, which was very annoying.Īt the end, I purchased NightTone from app store for $2.99. It just shaded the color which I guess is equivalent to brightness control in OLED. Then, I tried QuickShade, this one covered virtual desktops and it supported keyboard shortcut to increase/decrease light well not exactly brightness, since it was on OLED screen.
Be sure to stop and smell the proverbial roses along the way. The issue I had with it was that it only shaded the desktop, not the virtual desktops of maximized apps. Being a student is a great life experience, but it goes by fast.
