Brightness

Brightness is a Linux desktop utility for controlling screen luminosity and color temperature on both primary and external displays. It provides hardware and display management capabilities to adjust built-in laptop screens and secondary desktop monitors.

The application includes features for managing display color profiles, allowing users to save current settings and load previously stored configurations for instant restoration. It also supports adjusting screen warmth by tuning red, green, and blue color ratios.

System integration is achieved through desktop session bus communication, direct interaction with operating system pseudo-file directories, native widget toolkits, structured text serialization for state persistence, and display server color matrix manipulation.

Features

  • Linux Display Luminosity Adjusters - Adjusting screen luminosity levels on Linux systems for both built-in laptop screens and external desktop monitors.
  • Hardware Display Controllers - Modifies screen luminosity levels across primary and external displays using software controls on Linux systems.
  • Linux Brightness Controllers - A desktop utility for adjusting screen luminosity and color temperature on primary and external displays in Linux.
  • X11 Gamma Manipulators - Adjusts screen color temperature by sending low-level Red, Green, and Blue ramp correction matrices to the display server.
  • DDC-CI Monitor Brightness Controls - Controlling screen brightness levels on secondary or external displays connected to a Linux computer.
  • Color Temperature Managers - A configuration tool for tuning red, green, and blue color ratios to alter screen warmth on connected displays.
  • Color Rendering Adjustments - Adjusts red, green, and blue color ratios across connected displays to alter screen warmth.
  • Color Profile Management - Saving and loading custom screen brightness and color configurations to restore preferred display settings instantly.
  • JSON-Based Persistence - Serializes display configuration profiles into structured text files for saving and restoring user settings across sessions.
  • GTK Toolkits - Constructs the native desktop user interface components using a cross-platform widget toolkit designed for Linux environments.

    jonls/redshift

    6,157View on GitHub↗

    Redshift is a circadian lighting tool and color temperature controller designed to align screen output with natural light cycles. It functions as a display manager for X11 environments, adjusting screen color temperature based on the time of day and geographic location to reduce eye strain. The software automates display lighting by calculating the sun's position using stored coordinates to shift screen colors from blue to warmer tones. It also acts as a screen brightness manager by manipulating gamma ramps to simulate precise brightness levels when hardware backlight controls are insufficien

    gka/chroma.js

    10,569View on GitHub↗

    chroma.js is a JavaScript library for color manipulation, space conversion, and the generation of data visualization color scales. It provides a system for transforming colors between formats including RGB, HSL, Lab, LCH, OKLab, and CMYK, alongside tools for parsing and modifying colors across these spaces. The library specializes in data-driven color mapping, using algorithms such as Cubehelix, Bezier interpolation, and ColorBrewer palettes to translate numeric data into visual gradients. It includes a perceptual color difference calculator that utilizes CIE 2000 Delta E and Euclidean metric

    DankMaterialShell is a complete Wayland desktop environment that provides a unified set of panels, widgets, system tray, notifications, and an application launcher out of the box. It is built on a plugin-based shell architecture that allows for extending the desktop with custom widgets, launcher items, and background services through a unified component interface. The shell renders its panels, widgets, and overlays using the Wayland layer shell protocol for compositor-agnostic desktop integration. The project distinguishes itself through several integrated capabilities that work together as a

    Ddcctl is a command-line utility for macOS that interfaces directly with connected hardware displays to modify settings programmatically. It provides terminal-based control over external monitor properties such as brightness, contrast, volume, and color profiles. The utility communicates with external hardware using the standard bidirectional monitor control bus to read and write feature values. It queries native operating system display services and walks the kernel device registry to discover attached physical monitors, resolve their hardware service ports, and map user input from terminal
