# Adjust brightness for ThinkPad X230

Helps set the brightness outside X server for ThinkPad X230. Probably works

with other laptops making use of `/sys/class/backlight`.

The idea was to create a binary which will have a sticky UID so no root is

necessary.

# Installation

```bash

# clone the repository

git clone https://github.com/jeremija/bright

cd bright

# build

make

# to install binary in /usr/local/bin

sudo make install

```

# Usage

```bash

bright [-|+]

# decrease brightness by 10%:

bright -10

# increase brightness by 10%:

bright +10

# set brightness to 70%:

bright 70

```

The default brightness backend is set to `intel_backlight`. The

`BRIGHT_BACKEND` environment variable can be used to override the default

setting. Check the `/sys/class/backlight` directory to find which backend to

use.
