# brightd and volumed

Notification services for controlling volume (pulseaudio/pipewire) and brightness on Linux.

## Pre-requisites

* [brightnessctl](https://github.com/Hummer12007/brightnessctl)

* pactl (part of `libpulse`, you probably have this already)

## Installation

```bash

git clone https://github.com/diced/brightd-volumed

cd brightd-volumed

cargo install --path .

```

## Usage

`brightd` and/or `volumed` must be running for `brightctl`/`volumectl` to work.

Once `brightd` is running, you can increase/decrease screen brightness by running `brightctl inc`/`brightctl dec`.

Once `volumed` is running, you can increase/decrease volume by running `volumectl inc`/`volumectl dec`.

You can toggle mute by running `volumectl toggle-mute`.

When those commands are ran, a box in the center of your screen will appear (see screenshots) with a progress bar and specific icons.

This takes advantage of GTK3, so it will match your GTK3 theme.
