LiQuid Screen Dim
A simple utility which dims your screen. It saves the previous brightness too, so you can restore to the point before dimming.
This is useful if you are running a standalone screen locking setup like swayidle/swaylock. Check out my configuration files for an example use case.
Usage
USAGE:
lqsd [FLAGS] [OPTIONS]
FLAGS:
-d, --dim Dims the screen to idle level set in configuration
-h, --help Prints help information
-r, --resume Sets the backlight to the value it was before dimming
-V, --version Prints version information
OPTIONS:
-c, --config <config> Sets a custom config file
The configuration file resides at ~/.config/lqsd/config.toml
. There you can set these values:
Key | Explanation | Default |
---|---|---|
resume_file | The location where the previous brightness is saved | "/tmp/lqsd-resume" |
idle_level | The minimum brightness that will be dimmed to. Can be a value between 0-100 | 0 |
dim_speed | This sets the "sleep time" between each backlight command. It's in milliseconds | 50 |
resume_speed | Same as dim_speed, only for the resume operation -r |
25 |
Why Rust?
I wanted start a small project to learn Rust. Before lqsd, I was using this script and figured, why not rewrite it in Rust.
