[steve-todorov]

Are there any plans for Gnoem 43 support ? :)

[fastrizwaan]

Yes, please update for gnome 43, Please!

Friends, till Gnome 43 is supported, we can use https://github.com/LordAmit/Brightness

pip install brightness-controller-linux

brightness-controller

Thank you.

On Fedora I had to do this beforehand in order for it to build correctly:
sudo dnf install python3-devel ddcutil

Unfortunately it didn't work on desktop. The toggles do nothing.

friends another extension exists, https://extensions.gnome.org/extension/4167/custom-hot-corners-extended/

We can set shortcuts to that...

Good one, it works a treat on my desktop. Thanks! This extension seems to be a whole lot more than just hot corners.

Gnome Accessiblity - > zoom ->Color effects can be used directly

I'm pretty used to adjusting my brightness setting throughout the day with this extension. It is just so easy to use. I cannot wait for it to get ported to 43.

I appreciate both options fastrizwaan suggests, but I'd rather have the brightness slider right up there on the Gnome Shell menu instead of having to drill down the settings menu several times a day, or learning a new key combo to make use of the Hot Corners extension extended functionality (which I guess I'll have to do in the mean time since it seems to be the most sensible solution for now).

[fastrizwaan]

Yes, I also use soft brightness slider always. I am really missing it. Waiting for it. I am daily visiting this github repo to check on updates.

[fastrizwaan]

Can someone make a slider for gnome-shell? One can get the values from gsettings and change them as required.

rizvan@debian:~$ cat set_brighness.sh 

gsettings set org.gnome.desktop.a11y.magnifier mag-factor 1 ;# do not magnify
gsettings set org.gnome.desktop.a11y.magnifier brightness-red $1
gsettings set org.gnome.desktop.a11y.magnifier brightness-green $1
gsettings set org.gnome.desktop.a11y.magnifier brightness-blue $1
gsettings set org.gnome.desktop.a11y.applications screen-magnifier-enabled true ;#enable accessiblity

Usage:

rizvan@debian:~$ sh set_brighness.sh -0.80 ; # 20% brightness
rizvan@debian:~$ sh set_brighness.sh -0.70 ; # 30% brightness
rizvan@debian:~$ sh set_brighness.sh -0.50 ; # 50% brightness
rizvan@debian:~$ sh set_brighness.sh -0.00 ; # 100% brightness

I have created a pull request with GNOME 43 support here:
#59

In the meantime, feel free to clone the forked repository and follow the build instructions:

FYI

While there was no fix for Gnome 43 I stumbled upon a tool called ddccontrol that changes your actual screen brightness (without a fake dim effect). It offers a GUI and CLI.

While it of course doesn't integrate as nicely into Gnome as soft-brightness it might still be interesting to some (and works independently of your desktop environment).

Thankfully gddccontrol works with regular monitor (VESA) too. will be useful for gnome 44 ;-) till then @jkitching is the man!
