# 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.
|
|
|
|
## Why Rust?
|
|
I wanted start a small project to learn Rust. Before this, I was using [this script]("https://github.com/Bonnee/dotfiles/blob/wayland/scripts/bin/dim.sh") and figured, why not rewrite it in Rust.
|
|
|
|
## 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 `$XDG_CONFIG_HOME/lqsd/config.toml`. There you can set these values:
|
|
|
|
`resume_file_path`: the location where the previous brightness is saved (default: `/tmp/lqsd-resume`)
|
|
|
|
`idle_level`: the minimum brightness that will be dimmed to. Can be a value between 0-100 (default 0)
|
|
|
|
`dim_speed`: this sets the "sleep time" between each backlight command. It's in milliseconds (default 50)
|
|
|
|
`resume_speed`: same as the last one, only for the resume operation `-r` (default 25)
