# Control screen brightness in a logarithmic fashion. Linear backlight control
|
|
# just annoys me: I want fine-grained control over low brightnesses and quickly
|
|
# change the value at high brightnesses.

|
# We assume the minimum brightness is 0 (light off) and the maximum brightness
|
|
# is 100. This is the behaviour of
|
|
# [acpilight](https://github.com/wavexx/acpilight/), a replacement for
|
|
# xorg-xbacklight (which doesn't work on my laptop for some reason).
|
|
#
|
|
# Use `backlight.sh up` or `backlight.sh down` to increase or decrease the
|
|
# backlight brightess. If you want to adjust the speed with which it changes,
|
|
# adjust `change_percent` below.
|
|
|

|
|
# Multiply the current brightness by this percentage. This has to be an integer
