Screen brightness utility for Linux Desktop

Illuminate is a simple Bash script designed to provide easy control over screen brightness on Linux desktops.

The script uses xrandr to adjust brightness and was created out of the need for a straightforward brightness control solution on Linux desktops where this feature might not be as easily accessible as on laptops.

Features

• Supports multiple monitors.
• Uses xrandr for screen brightness control.
• Designed for Linux desktop environments using X Window System.

Dependencies

• Linux system
• git

Installation and execution

• Open terminal and type the following commands

git clone https://github.com/dlimon2/illuminate.git
cd illuminate
chmod +x illuminate.sh
./illuminate.sh <brightness> (value between 0.0 and 1.0)

Usage example

Setting screen brightness to 80%:

./illuminate.sh 0.8

Notes

• Illuminate uses xrandr for brightness control.
• Ensure that xrandr is available on your system.
• In some cases, Illuminate might not work if the display driver or hardware does not support the xrandr method for brightness adjustment.
