wlr-brightness

wlr-brightness adjust the brightness of your screen when using wlroots-based Wayland compositors such as sway. It works by adjusting the gamma values of your screen and therefore supports both screens with and without backlight (such as OLED).

Installation

From Source

Dependencies:

  • wlroots
  • wayland
  • dbus
  • wlr-protocols

Pull wlr-protocols:

git submodule update --init --recursive

Compile:

make

If you want to install wlr-brightness, you can use the systemd service:

sudo make install
cp res/wlr-brightness.service ~/.config/systemd/user/
systemctl --user enable --now wlr-brightness

Usage

Start the daemon:

wlr-brightness

wlr-brightness is a Wayland-client and therefore needs to keep running. The brightness will reset to the maximum on exit. To control wlr-brightness, use any dbus utility, e.g.:

gdbus call -e -d de.mherzberg -o /de/mherzberg/wlrbrightness -m de.mherzberg.wlrbrightness.get
gdbus call -e -d de.mherzberg -o /de/mherzberg/wlrbrightness -m de.mherzberg.wlrbrightness.set 0.7
gdbus call -e -d de.mherzberg -o /de/mherzberg/wlrbrightness -m de.mherzberg.wlrbrightness.increase 0.1
gdbus call -e -d de.mherzberg -o /de/mherzberg/wlrbrightness -m de.mherzberg.wlrbrightness.decrease 0.1
