# Multiplatform Backlight Changer
A simple application that works on both Windows and Linux to change the system backlight level.
Ubuntu will need the package `libmono-system-management4.0-cil`, since `System.Management` is used for the Windows Portion.
Once built (open in Visual Studio or MonoDevelop and hit Build) you can run it by:
(Linux)
`sudo mono IBC.exe 10` (Sets backlight to 10% of max)
(Windows)
`IBC.exe 10` (Same effect, but Windows doesn't require root.)
Valid Values are 1 to 100.
I shouldn't have to mention this, but I will anyway: This obviously requires you to have a screen whos brightness can be controlled by software - IE most Laptops, and almost never Desktops.
