# Brightness Tool for Arch Linux

This shell script allows you to change your screen brightness to a specific value,

and it's even more helpfull, if your xbacklight command doesn't work properly.

(I noticed that issue on some laptops)

## Description

You can set the brightness of your screen by simply typing:

```sh

$ setbrightness 

```

Where *value* is your brightness level as number.

You can also **add** an amount of levels to your brightness by typing:

```sh

$ setbrightness +

```

or **decrease** the value:

```sh

$ setbrightness -

```

## Installation

The only thing you need to do is to add the "setbrightness.sh" file to your path 

(meaning /usr/local/bin/, or /usr/bin/, or some other path on your $PATH variable)

If you like, you can remove the ".sh" extension.

If you've got any problems, let me know!
